Pathways Implementation Research Team— Component 2
The Pathways Implementation Research Teams (IRTs) Funding Opportunity supports the overall goal of Pathways which is to develop a better understanding of how to design, implement and scale-up population health interventions (such as those funded by Public health Agency of Canada, and First Nations and Inuit Health at Health Canada) that will improve Aboriginal health and health equity. The focus of research supported through this funding opportunity will be on population health interventions, defined as: policies, programs and resource distribution approaches that have the potential to impact health and health equity at a population level across the life course.
- ORS deadline is 26 SEP 2016; agency deadline is 3 OCT 2016
Indigenous Mentorship Network Program
The goal of this funding opportunity is to create distinctive and culturally relevant cohort learning opportunities and tailored mentoring activities.
