Grants in Canada

Open

Funds full research on adopting, spreading and sustaining proven health interventions — and on restoring services after a disaster disrupts them.

Open

Funds a small, self-contained study on adopting, spreading or dropping health practices, for work that needs less than a full project.

Open

Funds exploratory work on why proven health interventions do not get adopted — and on stopping the ones that should be dropped.

Open

Funds a fully powered trial of post-acute mental health treatment or services, testing not just whether it works but how and for whom.

Open

Funds early feasibility work on a new biomedical tool, instrument or method that could improve research, care delivery or accessibility.

Open

Funds research into delivering better mental health services where no clinical trial is involved — the route for observational and analytic work.

Open

Funds pilot mental health services research that is deliberately not a precursor to testing an intervention.

Open

Funds a test bed built on an existing digital mental health platform, to refine interventions fast and then run a definitive trial on them.

Open

Funds novel ideas in cancer control and population science — statistics, epidemiology, survivorship, behaviour, care delivery, digital health, implementation.

Open

Funds translational work on the neurobiology behind mood and psychotic symptoms during the menopause transition, aimed at treatment targets.

Open

Funds the exploratory version of the same translational work on mood and psychotic symptoms during the menopause transition.

Open

Funds studies of how conditions found by newborn screening unfold — the sequence and timing of symptoms, and what changes the course.

Open

Funds a self-contained rehabilitation research project by a scientist establishing an independent career, including new technology development.

Open

Funds the planning work behind a large vision research study — the protocol and procedures manual, not the study itself.

Open

Funds a genuinely new brain stimulation device for mental health, or a hardware or software change that substantially improves an approved one.

Open

Funds the exploratory version of next-generation brain stimulation device work for mental health, with the same floor on how much novelty counts.

Open

Funds a small, self-contained clinical trial anywhere inside the institute's mission in child health and human development.

Open

Funds an early-stage, high-risk project that includes a clinical trial — and at some institutes only a mechanistic one counts.

Open

Funds a defined research project in the investigator's own area of expertise, through the announcement most NIH institutes keep permanently open.

Open

Funds a small project that can be finished quickly with limited resources — a pilot, a reanalysis, a method, or a piece of new research technology.

Open

Funds a pilot trial of treatment or services for the phase after acute mental health care — holding gains, managing what is left, preventing relapse.

Open

Funds functional testing of genetic variants linked to congenital anomalies, to separate the ones that matter from the ones that merely appear.

Open

Funds studies using electrodes already implanted in people to record and stimulate directly, answering mental health questions no scan can reach.

Open

Funds the exploratory version of invasive human neural recording and stimulation work on mental health questions.
