idrc and the united kingdom’s foreign, commonwealth and development office are pleased to announce a call for concept notes under the climate adaptation and resilience (clare) initiative.  

this call for concept notes seeks to identify transdisciplinary teams motivated to conduct action-oriented research related to one or more of clare’s three research themes:  

• understanding climate risk: research to improve our understanding of the risks associated with climate and natural hazards, by addressing gaps in the underpinning science.   
• risk-informed early action: research to improve risk-informed anticipatory action to reduce humanitarian and extreme impacts of weather, climate variability and the compounding and cascading interaction of natural hazards.  
• developing in a changing climate: research to inform development in a changing climate; action that builds resilience in the present climate and adapts to future climate.  

overview

canada’s international development research centre (idrc) and the canadian institutes of health research’s institute of population and public health (cihr-ipph) are pleased to announce a new funding opportunity to identify and implement effective knowledge mobilization strategies to integrate the canadian coalition for global health research’s (ccghr) principles for global health research (known hereafter as the principles) across the global health research ecosystem.

the principles were developed by the ccghr (now, the canadian association for global health) through a consultative process that involved over 300 people within and outside canada. developed for all those involved in global health research (ghr) — including people designing, conducting, using, teaching, learning about, assessing, funding or collaborating on ghr — the principles identify equity as a central pillar. the six principles are: authentic partnering, inclusion, shared benefits, commitment to the future, responsiveness to the causes of inequities and humility.

since their publication in 2015, the principles are increasingly seen as an exemplar in global health and health equity more broadly. however, awareness of these principles and their uptake can be further strengthened. the goal of this funding opportunity is to support the fulsome integration of the principles into action across the canadian ghr ecosystem. by supporting action on the principles, we can ensure global health is practised in an equitable way and is actively anti-colonial in its orientation.

background

for many people, the raison d’être of global health is the achievement of health equity for all people worldwide. reaffirming this view is the united nations’ sustainable development goal (sdg) #3 which seeks to “ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.” yet, after decades of programming and billions of dollars invested in global health, alarming health inequities persist across and within countries. the current covid-19 pandemic has further exacerbated these health inequities, underscoring the need for the field of global health to do more and to do better.

global health is an area for study, research and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide. ghr — research focused on achieving health equity globally — can make important contributions to advancing the sustainable development goals. ghr is paradoxically also culpable in perpetuating the same health inequities that it generally seeks to understand and address. for example, the rising calls for the decolonization of global health have called out practices such as ‘parasitic research’ and ‘foreign gaze’ as symptoms of the deeply entrenched power imbalances between global health researchers and populations in high-income countries (hics) and those in low- and middle-income countries (lmics).

responding to the need to ensure ghr is conducted in an ethical way, the ccghr (now, the canadian association for global health) developed the principles for global health research (the principles) through a consultative process that involved over 300 people. developed for all those involved in ghr — including people designing, conducting, using, teaching, learning about, assessing, funding or collaborating on ghr — the principles identify equity as a central pillar. the six principles are: authentic partnering, inclusion, shared benefits, commitment to the future, responsiveness to the causes of inequities and humility.

since their publication in 2015, the principles are increasingly being used by the ghr community, including by universities, non-academic research organizations, governmental bodies and non-governmental organizations, to inform training, curriculum development, research design and research funding. they are seen as an exemplar in global health and health equity more broadly. the time is ripe to mobilize their integration across the ghr ecosystem.

aim and objectives

the overall goal of this call is to support the identification and implementation of effective knowledge mobilization strategies for integrating the principles into action across the canadian ghr ecosystem. by supporting action on the principles, we hope to ensure global health is practised in an equitable way and is actively anti-colonial in its orientation.

specifically, the call seeks to support research and knowledge mobilization activities that will rigorously:

1. take stock of awareness and application of the principles within the canadian ghr ecosystem (including researchers, universities and academic settings, research and policy partners in lmics, ngos and research funders);
2. identify and implement the best strategies and opportunities for encouraging the uptake and institutionalization of the principles across the canadian ghr ecosystem; and
3. create open-access tools and resources and provide guidance and support to facilitate and scale-up the use and institutionalization of the principles in canada and around the world.

alberta’s firefighters, police officers, paramedics, sheriffs, corrections officers and emergency health care workers often deal with stressful, dangerous and traumatic situations. this stress has a negative impact on first responders and emergency health care workers. they often experience post-traumatic stress injuries (ptsi) at significantly higher rates than the general population.

the supporting psychological health in first responders (sphifr) grant program has 2 separate funding streams:

• stream 1 (services) provides funding for non-profit organizations that provide services to first responders and emergency health care workers living with or at risk for ptsi.
• stream 2 (research) provides funding to researchers engaged in applied research that generates evidence on prevention or intervention for first responders and emergency health care workers living with or at risk for ptsi.
