Pre-Announcement Funding Opportunity: National Women’s Health Research Initiative: Pan-Canadian Women’s Health Coalition

CIHR will launch a funding opportunity for a Pan-Canadian Women’s Health Coalition as the first step to implementing the National Women’s Health Research Initiative in October 2022.

The Coalition will be composed of virtual hubs across Canada linked through a coordinating centre. The hubs and the coordinating centre will work together collectively to maximize the visibility and impact of women’s health research and practice in Canada.

Applications for the hubs and coordinating centre will occur through two separate funding opportunities:

The first funding opportunity for the hubs is anticipated to be launched in October 2022 with an application deadline in February 2023.
The second funding opportunity for the coordinating centre is anticipated to be launched later in Fall 2023.

For more information see the announcement.

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
