Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health (IHDCYH)
Funding
IHDCYH provides funding support for two distinct groups of research initiatives: strategic research in which the Institute takes the lead; and investigator-initiated research, which the Institute facilitates and supports through various mechanisms such as workshops and coalition building.
In both these approaches, IHDCYH initiatives cover a range of activities including building research capacity, creating a supportive research environment for the research community, supporting researchers at different career stages and pursuing targeted research priorities.
Funding mechanisms include:
- Support for training centers
- Funding New Emerging Teams of researchers
- Granting through the New Investigator Program
- Identifying and developing strategic research themes for large interdisciplinary, multi-year research programs
- Establishing a pool of funds for smaller strategic initiatives and seed grants
