Institute of Health Services and Policy Research (IHSPR)
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 of inquiry related to their Institute.
Institute Support Grant: Each Institute receives an Institute Support Grant of $1 Million annually to operate the Institute and to develop research and knowledge translation capacity in the scientific 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, decide on the overall research priorities of
CIHR and make recommendations to the Governing Council on appropriate allocation of resources.
