The CIHR Institutes of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes, Genetics, Infection and Immunity, and Indigenous Peoples’ Health, along with the Institutes of Aging, Circulatory and Respiratory Health, Gender and Health, and Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis, in partnership with Diabetes Canada, Fonds de recherche du Québec–Santé (FRQS), Genome Quebec, JDRF Canada, Kidney Foundation of Canada (KFOC) and Mitacs are pleased to announce the relaunch of Team Grants: Diabetes Mechanisms and Translational Solutions. This funding opportunity is a component of CIHR’s strategic research initiative, 100 Years of Insulin: Accelerating Canadian Discoveries to Defeat Diabetes.
The Team Grants in Diabetes Mechanisms and Translational Solutions will support multi-disciplinary research to better understand the underlying causes and pathophysiology of diabetes and develop improved prevention and treatment approaches for diabetes.
The objectives of the Team Grants in Diabetes Mechanisms and Translational Solutions are:
- To elucidate previously undefined mechanisms that control the onset and progression of all types of diabetes mellitus and related complications and co-morbidities, with appropriate consideration of sex as a biological variable and gender as a social determinant of health.
- To develop new translational solutions aimed at prevention, treatment, and delivery of care for people living with diabetes.
The total amount of funding available for this funding opportunity is $22,200,000 (not including Supplementary Partner Funding). This amount may increase if additional funding partners participate.
NEW: Letters of Intent are due December 9, 2020. For more information, please visit ResearchNet.
