Canada’s International Development Research Centre, in partnership with the Azrieli Foundation, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and the Israel Science Foundation (ISF), is supporting cutting-edge biomedical research under a new program.
This funding opportunity is expected to:
- Advance research and discovery in the biomedical sciences;
- Encourage scientific collaboration between Canadian and Israeli researchers and trainees; and
- Build capacity in biomedical science and foster scientific relations and collaborations with researchers and trainees in low and middle income countries.
Eligibility
- Each team must include only two Principal Applicants (PAs), one in Canada and one in Israel.
- All other researchers (including those from low and middle income countries) must participate as collaborators.
- Applicants must include a Collaboration Plan for integrating researchers in low and middle income countries and establishing long-term scientific relationships with them.
- As a minimum eligibility requirement, all proposals must support at least one of the following activities aimed at supporting capacity and scientific relationships:
- significant training opportunities such as scientific workshops, graduate training in Canada or Israel, or summer schools benefiting researchers/trainees in eligible low and middle income countries;
- inclusion of trainees from low and middle income countries in the carrying out of the research; and/or
- inclusion of established researchers from low and middle income countries in the carrying out of the research.
