The grants program aims to fund North-South health research collaborations to build research capacity in Canada and in developing countries.

• Up to CA $ 50,000 will be provided to groups of researchers based at one Canadian institution.
• Up to CA $75,000 will be provided to groups of researchers based at multiple Canadian institutions.

Research program development grants

• Up to CA $100,000 will be provided to enable Canadian interdisciplinary groups of researchers to develop, collaboratively with their counterparts in poorer and middle-income countries, long-term programs of research.

Applications from smaller institutions and/or from regions where capacity development is at a preliminary level are encouraged.

This project is the first undertaken as part of Canada's Coalition for Global Health Research, established in January 2002 to address problems of global health through research. Signatories include the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), and Health Canada.
