CIHR Open Operating Grant, Prioroty announcement for Population Health Interventions

Open Call – CIHR Open Operating Grants Program – Fall 2011 Priority Announcement – Population Health Interventions
CIHR-IPPH will provide funding for applications that support research related to population health interventions.

Population health interventions are policy, program and resource distribution approaches that address the determinants of health within and outside of the health sector. Population health interventions are complex, dynamic, and adaptable to different socio-cultural and political contexts.

Some examples include:
1) Municipal infrastructure policies to make communities safer and more walkable.
2) Housing renewal developments and their potential impacts on family well-being.
3) Social assistance policies to improve household food security.
