Catalyst Grant : HIV/AIDS Community-Based Research (2017)
The CIHR HIV/AIDS Community-Based Research (CBR) Program is one of five research funding areas of the CIHR HIV/AIDS Research Initiative. The CIHR HIV/AIDS Research Initiative is responsible for the research components of the two major Government of Canada initiatives in HIV/AIDS, namely the Federal Initiative to Address HIV/AIDS in Canada and the Canadian HIV Vaccine Initiative.
The CIHR HIV/AIDS CBR Program supports the partnered work of Community Leaders and Researchers in knowledge development and capacity-building initiatives of relevance to communities engaged in the fight against HIV/AIDS. All opportunities offered through the CBR Program are available in two distinct funding streams: Indigenous and General.
The aim of the Catalyst Grant component of the CBR program is to provide seed money to support HIV/AIDS CBR research activities which represent a first step towards the pursuit of more comprehensive funding opportunities (e.g., operating grants).
The total amount available for this funding opportunity is $480,000, enough to fund approximately 12 grants. This amount may increase if additional funding partners participate. The maximum amount per grant is $40,000 for up to one year.
Deadline: October 3, 2017
