INMD Funded Teams

In September 2003, The CIHR Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes (INMD) approached multi-disciplinary research teams working in areas relevant to its mandate or strategic research priorities to ask their interest in participating in a one-day networking meeting. INMD envisioned the following meeting objectives:

. To facilitate the transfer of best practices.
. To create linkages and exchanges among research teams.

Sixteen teams received funding in the form of New Emerging Team Grants, two teams received funding through the Canadian Alliance for Health Research program and one team was funded through the CIHR Interdisciplinary Health Research Teams competition.

New Emerging Teams

The New Emerging Team (NET) grant program was designed to support the creation or development of new competitive research teams, which show potential for successfully applying for infrastructure team funding in the future. The successful teams will support multidisciplinary and cross-theme research in identified areas of focus and support the training and establishment of new investigators within these areas. The creation of a team environment will enable teams to develop new exciting research projects.

Community Alliances for Health Research (CAHRs):

The intent of the CAHR program is to foster excellent research of relevance to community groups and agencies in the four themes of health research: biomedical, clinical, health services and systems and population health including the social, cultural and environmental determinants of health. The program facilitates mutual learning and collaboration among community organizations and partnerships with researchers based in local universities, hospitals and other not-for-profit institutions. In addition to contributing to the improved health and quality of life in communities involved in CAHRs, the program provides unique opportunities for training of health researchers in all disciplines.

Interdisciplinary Health Research Teams

The Interdisciplinary Health Research Teams (IHRT) Program was one of the transition programs created to launch the process of achieving CIHR's objectives. The transition programs were intended to strengthen the Canadian health research capacity, build and enhance interdisciplinary groups and research networks, increase funding opportunities, and provide research operating support. IHRT's are interdisciplinary, multi-centre collaborations between at least two of the four themes of health research, with an emphasis on research translation between the sectors, and focussed on an important health problem. The four themes designated in the IHRT program announcement are 1) biomedical; 2) clinical; 3) health services (including health systems); and 4) population health (including the social, cultural and environmental determinants of health).
