The HIV/AIDS CBR Program assists community-based organizations, non-governmental organizations and institutions in developing the knowledge necessary to carry out their HIV/AIDS work in the most effective manner, and in creating the expertise within these communities to conduct their own research.

The Institute of Aging of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR-IA) of Canada and the UK Research Councils’ New Dynamics of Ageing (NDA) programme are pleased to announce a joint initiative to promote international collaborations among Canadian and UK researchers. International partnerships are, and will continue to be, increasingly indispensable in addressing many critical global health issues, particularly those related to aging populations. The purpose of this CIHR-IA and NDA Research Initiative is to support Canadian research contributions to excellent and competitive Collaborative Research Projects under the NDA Programme.

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.

CIHR’s Institute of Health Services and Policy Research (IHSPR) is committed to supporting and integrating knowledge translation and exchange that informs and has an impact on policy and practice. CIHR-IHSPR is committed to developing this capacity within the health services and policy research community and facilitating research community linkages with the end users of research.
