Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) “administers $10.2 million to fund meritorious research grants and personnel awards across the entire spectrum of HIV/AIDS research on behalf of the Canadian Strategy on HIV/AIDS (CSHA). In addition, CIHR contributes a minimum of $3.5 million to HIV/AIDS research annually. The CIHR HIV/AIDS Research Program is led by the Institute of Infection and Immunity (III) on behalf of the Federal Initiative to Address HIV/AIDS in Canada. Applications for initiatives within the HIV/AIDS Research Program are sought in two distinct funding streams – Biomedical /Clinical Research and Health Services/ Population Health Research. Projects which display a multidisciplinary approach across all four research pillars are strongly encouraged and accepted.”
