Funding for a National Research Core


CIHR, is pleased to announce the launch of a Request for Applications (RFA) for a National Research Core as part of the Canadian Microbiome Initiative 2 (CMI2): A Focus on Function and Translation. 
 

Objectives

Develop a sustainable pan-Canadian Research Core that will:

  • Support the sharing of cohort data, samples and bacterial strains to improve accessibility for Canadian researchers;

  • Harmonize and optimize microbiome research protocols, including sample collection and processing in order to facilitate research reproducibility;

  • Ensure that sex as a biological variable and gender as a social determinant of health are appropriately integrated into the data platform, research protocols and other core activities to expand the evidence base and research capacity in the field;

  • Develop linkages among the Canadian research teams and linkages with international partners and stakeholders (e.g., the Joint Programme Initiative, Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life (JPI HDHL) Intestinal Microbiomics Initiative) in order to facilitate collaboration;

  • Coordinate and facilitate multi-disciplinary training and mentoring to contribute to the development of the next generation of researchers; and

  • Facilitate knowledge translation of Canadian microbiome research.
