Institute of Infection and Immunity (III)

Financial Overview

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research is funded entirely by federal government appropriations, although funded projects may also be financially supported through partner contributions. The Governing Council of CIHR delegates financial authority for the management of a portion of these funds directly to each Institute. These funds are:

Institute Strategic Initiatives: Each Institute is provided with funding annually to support strategic health research, knowledge translation and capacity building in their respective scientific areas through the awarding of peer-reviewed grants and awards in fields related to their Institute.

Institute Support Grant: Each Institute receives an Institute Support Grant of $1 Million annually to operate the Institute and to support the research community they represent through a wide array of collaborative activities.

The CIHR corporate budget supports other strategic initiatives as well as open, investigator-initiated research, primarily through operating grants and personnel awards. CIHR's Research Priorities and Planning Committee comprised of the President and the thirteen Scientific Directors of the Institutes, decides on the overall research priorities of CIHR and makes recommendations to the Governing Council on appropriate allocation of resources.

For more detail on our yearly financial activities, including our investments in strategic initiatives, please see our Annual Reports.
