Objective
The grants will fund new research that will improve health and achieve more equitable outcomes in nutrition, metabolic health and chronic high burden diseases, as well as sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI), across the life course of diverse groups of people in Canada by:
- Developing precision medicine approaches to characterize the variability in mechanisms of disease, prevention, detection, and to develop more effective interventions in terms of disease susceptibility, progression, resilience and reversibility, and treatment;
- Increasing our understanding of interactions between structural, social, environmental, and biological determinants of health in Indigenous communities that underlie heterogeneity in health and disease; and/or
- Increasing our understanding of interactions between structural, social, environmental, and biological determinants of health with particular emphasis on a diversity of populations who have historically experienced inequitable outcomes in Canada and at-risk groups that underlie heterogeneity in health and disease.
Research Areas:
- General Omics Pool (up to three grants)
- Nutrition and Metabolic Health Pool (up to three grants)
- Precision Prevention in Nutrition and Metabolic Health Pool (up to one grant)
- Infection and Immunity Pool (up to three grants)
