the specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:        

• to support planning activities, partnership development and to increase understanding of the health research landscape that will contribute to the advancement of research consistent with the mandate of cihr; and
• to support dissemination events and activities that focus on the communication of health research evidence to the appropriate researcher or knowledge-user audiences, tailoring the message and medium as appropriate.

investigators worldwide contributing to the detection or deterrence of performance-enhancing drugs are eligible for pcc grants.

grant cycle deadlines:
pre-applications are due march 1^st, july 1^st, and november 1^st of each year. applicants invited to submit full applications must do so by april 1^st, august 1^st, or december 1^st, depending on the cycle (30 days after the pre-application due date).

with an emphasis on original work that focuses on improving existing analytical methods for detecting particular drugs, developing new analytical methods to test for substances not currently detectable, and discovering cost-effective approaches for testing widely abused substances across all levels of sport, the following areas of investigation reflect the pcc’s current research priorities:

• developing methods of cost-effective testing to detect and deter the use of banned and illegal substances.
• developing testing protocols to detect designer substances used for doping purposes.
• improving existing analytical methods to detect particular drugs, ex. gh, igf-1, epo, hcg.
• developing analytical methods to detect performance enhancing drugs not currently detectable.
• longitudinal urinary excretion patterns, metabolism and dose-concentration.
• critical reviews to support interpretation of laboratory data.
• alternative specimens, (ex. oral fluid, dried blood/plasma spots) for testing.

brain canada and the als society of canada are pleased to announce the launch of the 2023 career transition award. this program will identify and engage rising stars pursuing innovative research in labs and academic institutions in canada. the career transition award has the long-term goal of developing the next generation of scientists across various disciplines within basic and clinical sciences, contributing to knowledge generation and translation in als. 

idrc and the global partnership for education are pleased to invite proposals for applied research projects that will generate and mobilize evidence to contextualize and scale the impact of innovative approaches to strengthen gender-responsive and socially inclusive education and safe schooling experiences for all children, especially those facing multiple forms of gender inequalities and marginalization. 

while there are many important issues within the broader lens of gender equality, equity and inclusion, this call for proposals aims to make a difference in children’s learning by focusing on the creation of: 

• inclusive and gender-responsive curriculum, pedagogies and leadership 
• safe, inclusive and supportive schools for all 

the global partnership for education knowledge and innovation exchange (kix) aims to respond to these challenges by doing the following:  

• generating evidence about how to scale the impact of innovative approaches that address the challenges of gender equality and social inclusion at school.   
• strengthening the capacities of relevant stakeholders to use that knowledge and innovation.  
• mobilizing the evidence developed to improve policy and practice in education systems.

the specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to create and implement a national coordinating centre for the pan-canadian women's health coalition to:

• facilitate coordination and knowledge sharing and build synergies amongst the hubs.
• maximize the impact of the hubs' activities within and beyond the coalition (hubs and coordinating centre).
• accelerate pan-canadian knowledge mobilization to bolster the dissemination, translation and equitable uptake of evidence related to women's health.

while the coordinating centre is tasked with accelerating the development and flow of local and pan-canadian research studies and knowledge mobilization on women's health, it is not to be responsible for the creation of new research evidence relating to women's health.
