specific objectives

the specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• establish a multi-stakeholder pediatric cancer consortium which covers the cancer control continuum from prevention to diagnosis, treatment to survivorship that encompasses the breadth of stakeholders and knowledge-users with a transparent, inclusive multi-jurisdictional recruitment and membership process, meaningful engagement with partners and innovative international research collaborations.
• advance pediatric cancer research through platforms and projects in high priority areas.
• improve the research pipeline for the development and further access to drugs for children affected by cancer and their families, by working in the context of regulatory frameworks (health canada) for drug approval processes and, with engagement of people with lived/living experience (pwle), influencing system improvements through research and knowledge mobilization. 
• advance equitable access to new and promising therapies regardless of geography, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.
• build capacity for the next generation of pediatric cancer researchers through training and mentorship opportunities embedded and interconnected across the consortium and capacity for people with lived and living experience to engage meaningfully in the research ecosystem.
• maximize research impact and knowledge mobilization within and beyond the consortium to help ensure evidence is integrated in and used to inform health policy, decision making and planning.

the specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:

• to enhance evidence regarding the adaptation and successful implementation of evidence-based interventions in preventing or reducing exposure to one or more common non-communicable diseases (ncd) risk factors;
• to increase understanding of key barriers and facilitators (including contextual factors such as poverty, racism, ethnic discrimination, sex/gender differences) to intervention access, uptake, and effectiveness across demographic groups and life stages;
• to improve capacity for implementation research on ncd prevention;
• to foster the incorporation of interventions into local, regional or national health policy, including their scale-up and sustainability, with a focus on equitable outcomes; and
• to support implementation research teams that actively engage partners (i.e., decision makers, indigenous peoples, community groups, and service delivery partners) as an integral part of the entire research process.

allied health kidney research grant

the purpose of the allied health kidney research grant is to encourage allied health professionals to pursue research relevant to the areas of nephrology and organ donation, including clinical, health services, social, cultural, environmental and population health research. to be eligible for this grant the principal applicant must be an allied health professional.

the grant can be awarded for up to two years. the project must have a clearly demonstrated relevance and outcome relevant to our mission, and the research must be carried out in canada.

we recommend that researchers with biomedical or basic projects apply to the kidney health research grants competition. post-doctoral fellows are encouraged to apply to the krescent program.

allied health kidney doctoral fellowship

the kidney foundation offers a limited number of fellowships that fund full-time academic study and preparation for research at the doctoral level. the objective of this program is to promote and enhance the development of allied health investigators in canada in the field of nephrology and / or organ donation. fellowships are awarded for amounts up to $31,000/year and can be held in canada or abroad. note that for programs outside canada the applicant must provide a statement indicating their intention to return to canada.

allied health kidney scholarship

the purpose of the allied health kidney scholarship award is to encourage 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 with a demonstrated interest in nephrology and / or organ donation to pursue education at the masters level, and in turn to promote and enhance the development of allied health investigators in the nephrology field in canada.

the covid-19 pandemic has had differential impacts on individuals, communities, and countries, intensifying the inequalities that existed before this crisis. globally, numerous voices have been advocating for “building back better” rather than a return to the status quo as the world emerges from this pandemic.

in november 2020, the united nations released the un research roadmap for the covid-19 recovery which encourages “targeted research for data-driven responses that focus particularly on the needs of people being left behind.” the roadmap is built on the premise that innovative and interdisciplinary solutions are needed to account for the interdependence of people and recovery efforts.

the goal of this special call is to mobilize canadian-led research efforts in support of a more equitable, sustainable and resilient postpandemic reality. it will support a diverse portfolio of projects that directly address one or more of the research priorities outlined in the roadmap, including any of the un’s priorities and subpriorities, including but not limited to the “quick-win”, “best-buy” and “game-changer” priorities.

by funding research that directly responds to the un roadmap, nfrf will be part of a cohesive international research effort to address global socio-economic inequities that have been heightened by the covid-19 pandemic.

the objective of this call for proposals under the skills for success (sfs) program is to fund organizations that will help canadians at all skill levels improve their foundational and transferable skills to better prepare for, get and keep a job, and adapt and succeed at work.

projects funded under this call for proposals will allow the sfs program to:

• respond to current skills and labour market issues; and
• enable the broad adoption and uptake of the skills for success model

please note that there are 2 funding streams under this call for proposals

• the training and tools stream, and
• the research and innovation stream

objective

the objective of the research and innovation stream of this call for proposals under the skills for success program is to fund projects that:

• support research and innovative projects to identify better ways of helping persons prepare for, return to or keep employment and be productive participants in the labour force.
