Institute Community Support (ICS) Program
- Aiding research and knowledge translation activities where the circumstances fall outside CIHR's programs.
- Supporting organizations and activities whose goals are consistent with the Institute's and CIHR's vision, mandate and strategic directions.
The ICS Program is not intended to support the direct cost of research (e.g., pilot projects, feasibility studies or operating grants), principal and co-investigator salaries or research equipment.
Institute of Aboriginal Peoples' Health (IAPH) ICS Program
Under the framework of the ICS Program, IAPH has developed the Travel Awards for Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Students program (continuous launch cycle) designed to encourage research and facilitate knowledge translation within its community.
Please note that as of August 2011, the Travel Awards program will be administered through ResearchNet. Please visit the CIHR Funding Opportunities Database at that time for details (e.g. application deadline, application instructions...) on the funding opportunity.
For those seeking workshop and symposium support, please refer to the Meeting, Planning and Dissemination Grants funding opportunity in the CIHR Funding Opportunities Database.
Funds Available
IAPH's contribution to the amount available for this program is subject to availability of funds voted annually to CIHR by parliamentary appropriations, and the conditions that may be attached to them.
The total amount available for this program is $20,000 for fiscal year 2011-2012. Although not anticipated at this time, additional funds may become available.
