The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is pleased to announce the results of the Meetings, Planning and Dissemination Grant: Aging (Fall 2009 Competition) competition.Funding Opportunity Summary
The objectives of the funding opportunity "Meetings, Planning and Dissemination Grant: Aging (Fall 2009 Competition)" were to:
- identify and advance critical research directions in Canada, within CIHR Institute of Aging's five priority topics;
- enable knowledge translation, transfer or exchange, by and with relevant stakeholders and partners;
- contribute significantly to the visibility of the CIHR Institute of Aging and research on aging in Canada on the national and / or international stage;
- explore and develop new Canadian and, when appropriate, international research collaborations in aging; and
- engage trainees, researchers and partners not currently affiliated with aging research or the CIHR Institute of Aging, in any of the above.
In the context of international research partnership development, the CIHR Institute of Aging wishes to stimulate and strengthen alliances with nations (their researchers, research institutes or governments) that have a shared interest in addressing health-related issues associated with an aging population. It is expected that through such alliances both Canada and foreign partners will benefit from the international work in aging, and apply the results as appropriate in their respective countries. More specifically, the institute's objectives for international research partnership development include the following:
- To establish collaborative relationships with foreign groups or institutions in order to address mutual critical challenges in the field of aging.
- To make possible a research effort that none of the partners could accomplish on their own.
- To develop longer-term, collaborative international research and research capacity building programs with foreign partners.
