Funding Opportunities

Funding Opportunity - CIHR

The CIHR-Institute of Population and Public Health has recently announced the launch of Population Health Intervention Research to Promote Health and Health Equity RFA on the CIHR website. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support the prompt initiation of intervention research on rapidly unfolding programs, policies and resource distribution approaches that have the potential to impact health and health equity at the population level.
 
This is an excellent opportunity for the respiratory health community to access funding for intervention research on programs, policies and resource distribution approaches that have the potential to promote respiratory health and health equity at the population level.
 
Examples of research that might be conducted include but are not limited to:
  • New/changes to health-related tax incentives and their differential impacts on vulnerable groups (e.g. lone mothers, immigrants and refugees, working poor)
  • New/changes to employment opportunities in resource poor settings and their potential effects on workers' mental health or on the employability of those returning to work after illness or injury
  • New programs aimed at improving health that are led by non-health sectors (e.g., housing initiatives, income assistance programs, literacy programs, changes to public transit options/costs/availability)
  • The impact of intersectoral policy changes on health and health equity (e.g., rural or urban planning guidelines, workplace management policies, policies related to the environment)
