Funding, News and Announcements

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) are partnering on the eighth Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD) for research funding call: Implementation research targeting non-communicable disease risk factors associated with city environments.

This GACD funding call will focus on implementation research that leads to an improved understanding of how specific interventions – that reduce the risk of non-communicable disease onset or progression - can be better adapted to different city environments and/or scaled within and across cities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries or vulnerable populations within high-income countries.

For more information, visit the GACD full call text here [PDF].

Instructions on how to apply will be available in the CIHR funding opportunity once the call opens.

Questions may be addressed to ird@dal.ca.
