The second round of Request for Applications for the HIV/AIDS Community-Based Research (CBR) program at the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR) was launched in June 2005. This program is managed by the CIHR Institute of Infection and Immunity in partnership with the Institute of Aboriginal Peoples' Health. The CBR Program funds capacity-building initiatives and research projects in two streams - Aboriginal research and General (non-Aboriginal) research.
Program Response
A total of 35 applications were received in the second launch of CBR Requests for Applications - 10 in the aboriginal stream and 25 in the General stream.
Proposals were reviewed by two distinct Merit Review panels, one for each of the Aboriginal Program projects and the General Program projects. The panels were composed of researchers and community members who brought their expertise in CBR, knowledge of CIHR, experience with the program previously administered by Health Canada and unique cultural representation to the panels. The panels met in early 2006 to review the projects.
For full results of this competition, please visit the CIHR website.
Upcoming activities in the CBR Program
The third launch of Requests for Applications in CBR will occur in June 2006.
CIHR will be hosting a satellite session at the XVI International AIDS Conference in August 2006 entitled "Community-Based Research (CBR) in Canada: Innovations and partnership to improve health outcomes for PLWHAs and communities at risk," in partnership with other CBR stakeholders.
