BC Environmental and Occupational Health Research Network

Available funding will support strategically important commercialization and knowledge translation initiatives, especially those resulting from AllerGen-supported research in the Network’s initial round of funding (2005-07); programmatic or network-level research partnership development; and capacity-building initiatives. Seed funding for strategically important research initiatives is also available. Current AllerGen Investigators have an opportunity to apply for in-year research funding.
Proposals can be submitted at any time.

Funding research projects leading to social and economic benefits to Canada is a priority of both the NCE program and AllerGen. Knowledge translation is the all-important link between discovery and development. It is the bridge between the lab and real life. Proposals in this call will be reviewed for their potential for end-user applications. Translational AllerGen research aims to transform scientific discoveries arising from the laboratory, clinic, or population studies into clinical applications to reduce the incidence, morbidity, mortality and social and economic burden of allergies, asthma and related immune diseases. Translational research typically looks at two areas of translation. The first is the process of applying discoveries generated during research in the laboratory and preclinical studies, to the development of trials and studies in humans. The second area of translation concerns research aimed at enhancing the adoption of best practices in the community.
