Description

The goal of the CIHR Operating Grants: Knowledge Mobilization in Diabetes Prevention and Treatment is to enhance knowledge mobilization in the field of diabetes, focusing on evidence integration into health services, programs, and policies. This funding opportunity will also provide researchers and knowledge users, including people with lived/living experience (PWLLE), e.g., people at risk of or with diabetes, and their families and informal caregivers, or a representative of a patient organization representing these groups, an opportunity to work collaboratively to improve prevention and care of people at risk of, or living with, diabetes in Canada.

This funding opportunity will complement CIHR's 100 Years of Insulin: Accelerating Canadian Discoveries to Defeat Diabetes initiative which supports research to develop preventive and therapeutic paradigms that reverse the upward trajectory of diabetes prevalence and associated morbidities and reduce the impact of diabetes on individuals, families, and communities.

Knowledge Mobilization
Applicants will have to submit a knowledge mobilization plan (See How to Apply for more details) developed jointly between researchers and knowledge users to address a health system priority and/or identified evidence need or gap. Applicants will identify targeted knowledge users (including but not limited to PWLLEs, policy and decision makers, and healthcare providers) and the intended knowledge mobilization activities and/or products that will be produced (see Additional Information for examples).

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI)
CIHR is committed to supporting a research environment that reflects the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), and honors its commitment to reconciliation by strengthening the health and well-being of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples. Achieving a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive Canadian research enterprise is essential to creating the excellent, innovative, and impactful research necessary to advance knowledge and understanding, and to responding to local, national, and global challenges. Beyond efforts to bolster EDI, CIHR recognizes that First Nations, Métis and Inuit are rights-holding as First Peoples of Canada, and initiatives should be developed through distinctions-based approaches, as found in the strategic plan.

Additional guidance can be found on the Best practices in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Research webpage.

CIHR will require applicants to consider diverse biological and/or socio-cultural identity factors in research design (e.g., sex, gender, ethnicity, disability), including diverse research methods such as those based in Indigenous ways of knowing, to strengthen research excellence and ensure maximum research impact. Please see CIHR’s position on:

• Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the Research System
• Indigenous Rights as recognized by the Tri-Agency EDI Action Plan, the Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy, and the Strengthening Indigenous Research Capacity Strategic Plan.
• Sex and Gender based analysis (SGBA+) available on the Sex and Gender in Health Research webpage.

Research Areas

This funding opportunity will support projects relevant to the following areas:

• General Pool: This funding pool will support applications relevant to the overall objectives of the funding opportunity, especially knowledge mobilization activities and/or products focusing on evidence integration into health services.
• Territorial Regional Pool: This funding pool will support applications focused within the three territories (the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut) relevant to the overall objectives of the funding opportunity, with a particular emphasis on knowledge mobilization activities and/or products targeted to Indigenous communities and improving access to culturally appropriate diabetes care and evidence integration into health services.

Guidelines

General CIHR Policies

Before submitting an application to this funding opportunity, applicants should review the relevant policies and guidelines on the CIHR Funding Policies page to ensure understanding of their responsibilities and expectations.

Allowable Costs

Applicants are advised to consult the Use of Grant Funds section of the Tri-Agency (CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC) Guide on Financial Administration (TAGFA) to determine if an expenditure is an appropriate use of grant funds.

To further clarify, the following expenses are examples of appropriate uses of grant funds, provided they satisfy the principles and pertinent directives of the TAGFA:

• Costs related to the translation and preparation of information/material intended for public consumption for the purposes of informing and engaging partners (e.g., website content, information pamphlets, guidelines, promotional and event-related material, etc.).
• Costs associated with collaboration, planning, communication, and knowledge mobilization activities and/or products. This includes costs involved in linkage with and dissemination of findings to those who use the results, including other researchers, knowledge users, government representatives, and relevant occupational/industrial sector players, as well as the development of knowledge mobilization activities and/or products.
• Patient partner compensation is an allowable cost. Patient partners (including patients/PWLLEs/families, caregivers, and care providers) should be offered compensation for their time which helps make participation in research more equitable and diverse by removing barriers to participate. Please refer to these considerations when compensating patient partners in research.
• Expenditures that respect the culture and traditions of Indigenous peoples, where needed for the meaningful conduct of research. See TCPS 2 – Chapter 9 Research Involving the First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples of Canada and TAGFA Directive on Gifts, Honoraria and Incentives. These include:
  • Costs related to community mobilization and engagement, including culturally relevant promotional items such as, tobacco, cloth, feasting, and gift giving for honoring ceremonies, and cash reimbursements (in a method acceptable to the individual or community being reimbursed) to compensate community participation.
  • Contracts and/or consultant fees for knowledge translation and communication activities for Indigenous Elders, community members, and Indigenous Knowledge Keepers involved in activities related to the Indigenous community.

The following are examples of expenses not eligible to be paid from grant funds, as per TAGFA requirements:

• Costs normally associated with the health care system, as well as the education, criminal justice systems, etc. As such, although funds can be used for the development, evaluation, and context specific adaptation of interventions, they cannot be used for the implementation of existing interventions. This stipulation is designed not only to preserve dollars for research purposes, but also to encourage sustainability of these interventions once implemented.
