Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health (IHDCYH)
Peer Review Committee
To ensure the excellence of research that is funded by
CIHR, committees of experts review all applications for funding. The
Children's Health Committee (
CHI) reviews applications addressing health issues such as:
- conditions for optimizing child development
- prevention, treatment, and strategies for support of children with physical, mental, and behavioural health challenges
- birth defects, congenital abnormalities and the effect of environmental toxins on reproductive and child health
- life style and social influences on fetal, maternal, and neonatal health
- health impacts and outcomes of family dynamics and childcare
- parenting
- attachment patterns
- impacts of poverty
- violence and abuse
- specific childhood and youth-related conditions: causal factors, prevention, early identification, treatment, and long-term management, with consideration of school-related issues and issues related to the official language minority status.
