INMD Institute Community Support (ICS) Program (2011-12)

The ICS Program is designed to foster community development by providing grants and awards to individuals and organizations for the purposes of:

• Aiding research and knowledge translation activities where the circumstances fall outside CIHR's programs.
• Supporting individuals and organizations whose goals are consistent with CIHR and its 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 Nutrition Metabolism and Diabetes (INMD) ICS Program

Under the framework of the ICS Program, INMD has developed two (2) funding programs (continuous launch cycle) designed to encourage research and facilitate knowledge translation within its community:

• INMD Travel awards for Doctoral and Post Doctoral Students
• Community Outreach Program for Non-Governmental Organizations

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 support for INMD related planning and dissemination events, please refer to the Meeting, Planning and Dissemination Grants funding opportunity in the Funding Opportunities Database.

For those seeking support for INMD related Café Scientifique, please refer to the CIHR Café Scientifique Program.
