Deadline: May 1, 2010 Details: Knowledge Synthesis Grant: 2010Agency: CIHR Knowledge syntheses are the cornerstone of knowledge translation. They transform vast libraries of scientific literature into knowledge that is reliable, relevant and readable for knowledge users.. Syntheses are comprehensive and apply scientific methods to literature analysis which minimizes the risk of bias and error that may accompany single studies, so decisions are less likely to be based on insufficient or premature evidence. Syntheses are also a means to integrate the established literature with other forms of knowledge or map the state of current knowledge on a topic, revealing to knowledge users where there is or is not strong evidence to inform their decisions, and guiding researchers to new avenues for primary research. Deadline: May 3, 2010 Details: Knowledge Synthesis Grant: Spring 2010 Priority Announcement (Specific Research Areas)Agency: CIHR Priority Announcements on CIHR Knowledge Synthesis competitions offer additional sources of funding for highly rated applications that are relevant to specific CIHR research priority areas or mandates.

Deadline: April 1, 2010 Details: Team Grant: Mental DisordersAgency: CIHR The maintenance, improvement and restoration of human health are of fundamental importance and priority in all countries. Biomedical and health research provide an important basis for the improvement of healthy living. Among the many diseases affecting human health, disorders of the brain are major causes of morbidity, mortality and impaired quality of life. According to estimates by the World Health Organisation (World Health Report 2001), more than one billion people suffer from disorders of the central nervous system. In Europe, disorders of the brain account for approximately one-third of the total burden of all diseases. Thus, neuroscience research and its translation into diagnostic and therapeutic measures are of high priority.
