jtc 2025 - “better care closer to home: enhancing primary and community care”

how to apply: 

the european partnership on transforming health and care systems (thcs) brings the opportunity to coordinate and optimize research and innovation efforts in europe and its partner countries supporting the much-needed transformation of health and care systems.

under this umbrella, the third joint transnational call for proposals “better care closer to home: enhancing primary and community care” aims to improve primary and community health and care systems, providing policymakers with knowledge and tools to manage transitions within the primary and community care sector. projects funded under this call will deliver promising financial, organizational, and practice-based service innovations that promote the transformation of health and care systems and contribute to faster exchange of best practices across different countries and regions.

the european partnership on transforming health and care systems (thcs) brings the opportunity to coordinate and optimize research and innovation efforts in europe and its partner countries supporting the much-needed transformation of health and care systems.

to align regional and national research strategies and funding activities, promote excellence, reinforce the competitiveness of european players while fostering eu cooperation and enhance european collaboration with non-eu countries, 34 funding organisations have agreed to launch the joint transnational call 2025 (jtc2025) for collaborative, innovative research projects co-funded by the european union. the funding organisations participating in this call particularly wish to promote innovative, interdisciplinary collaboration and encourage transnational collaboration.

in canada, cihr is participating in this call.  cihr's additional eligibility for this call is follows:  projects must be focused on the health and care of older persons and/or their caregivers and use a patient-oriented research approach. patient-oriented research (por) involves engaging patients, caregivers, families, communities as well as knowledge users and decision makers as partners in co-creating research. this partnered approach is a key element of research excellence and increases the quality, relevance, and impact of research evidence, increasing its uptake into health policy and practice. projects therefore must include a patient engagement plan with details on how people with lived and living experience (pwlle) and/or communities, including indigenous, will be part of the research team, designing and executing the research and subsequent knowledge mobilization. for more information, please also refer to spor’s patient engagement framework.

research grants – early career and research grants – program

how to apply: 

hfsp research grants support innovative basic research into fundamental biological problems with emphasis placed on novel and interdisciplinary approaches that involve scientific exchanges across national and disciplinary boundaries (see guidelines).

participation of scientists from disciplines outside the traditional life sciences such as biophysics, chemistry, computational biology, computer science, engineering, mathematics, nanoscience or physics is recommended because such collaborations have opened up new approaches for understanding the complex structures and regulatory networks that characterize living organisms, their evolution and interactions.

research grants are provided for teams of scientists from different countries who wish to combine their expertise in innovative approaches to questions that could not be answered by individual laboratories. preliminary results are not required and applicants are expected to develop new lines of research through the research collaboration.

it is understood that such research inherently contains risks and hfsp expects that teams of applicants address the risks and outline mitigation strategies for their research in case of failure and how they intend to achieve their goals.

applications for applied research, including medical research typically funded by national medical research bodies, will be deemed ineligible (see guidelines).

two types of grant are available: research grants – early career and research grants – program.

review of the experiences and biopsychosocial impacts of the menopause transition (perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause) on women veterans

how to apply: 

this funding opportunity is seeking submissions from researchers to conduct a scoping review on the available peer reviewed research and grey literature on the experiences and biopsychosocial impacts of perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause on women veterans’ health and well-being outcomes.

researchers are encouraged to use a broad search strategy so that applicable research from different militaries and contexts is included. research conducted internationally, including the united states of america, united kingdom, new zealand and australia, should be considered. sub-analysis or interpretation may be needed for each country to show availability of research and literature between countries and what is most relevant to the canadian women veteran population.

studies from grey literature should be captured in addition to peer-reviewed literature and publications on information about women veterans’ and the civilian women populations’ experiences with perimenopause, menopause and post menopause are to be included. sub-analysis or interpretation may be needed to demonstrate generalizability to women veterans of the canadian armed forces.
