Team Grant: Quality of Life
CIHR's Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis in partnership with Pfizer Canada are pleased to announce the results of the Request for Applications (
RFA) "Team Grant: Quality of Life".
The objective of this program is to promote development of either the growth of small existing teams or the formation of completely new competitive research teams undertaking collaborative multidisciplinary research in IMHA's three research priorities:
- Physical Activity, Mobility and Health
- Tissue Injury, Repair and Replacement
- Pain, Disability and Chronic Diseases
The specific objectives of this initiative are:
- Develop new competitive research teams, which show potential for successfully applying for other infrastructure team funding in the future; The New Emerging Team grant is designed to provide a maximum of five (5) years of support for the development of teams of independent investigators undertaking collaborative multidisciplinary research in Canadian research institutions.
- Promote either the growth of small existing teams or the formation of new and previously nonexistent research teams.
- Foster multidisciplinary and cross-theme research in identified areas of focus; In this context the term "disciplines" includes both professional and scientific disciplines (i.e. Dermatology & Chemistry respectively) and the term "pillar" refers to CIHR's four pillars.
- Build capacity through the training and establishment of new researchers including doctoral and postdoctoral trainees and at least one new investigator.
- Create a team environment that favors the development of excellent and innovative research projects that will advance our understanding of the three research priorities.
Seven applications were received and two were approved for funding.
