Meetings, Planning and Dissemination Grants are intended to provide support for meetings, planning and/or dissemination activities consistent with the mandate of CIHR and relevant to CIHR Institutes, Initiatives, or Branches. Activities eligible for funding may include, but are not limited to, the following examples: Scientific meetings where the sharing of information takes place (workshops, symposia, conferences, colloquia, etc…); Gatherings of health researchers, non-researchers, and/or users of health research where the main objective is to facilitate collaboration among individuals or groups (for example, consensus meetings, planning and/or development meetings, networking and partnership development events); Opportunities for knowledge exchange involving stakeholder linkages (to inform practice, care, and/or policy); Knowledge translation activities at the end of a CIHR grant when it is appropriate to disseminate the results of the research beyond the traditional scientific community. CIHR-IHDCYH’s mandate is to ensure the best start in life for all Canadians and the achievement of their potential for optimal growth and development. IHDCYH promotes health research in the areas of reproductive biology, pregnancy and developmental biology, birth and neonatology, and the health and development of children, youth, and their families.
