CIHR — Team Grant: Healthy Youth (2025)

Description

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support youth-engaged research teams to generate evidence for at least two of the six priorities of Canada’s Youth Policy with the ultimate goal of improving youth health and well-being. The six priority areas are: (i) Leadership and Impact, (ii) Health and Wellness, (iii) Innovation, Skills and Learning, (iv) Employment, (v) Truth and Reconciliation, and (vi) Environment and Climate Action.

This funding opportunity is a direct response to calls for Canada to do better when it comes to youth health and wellness, particularly with historically excluded or underrepresented youth^1,2,3 and to put diverse youth and youth voices at the centre of multi-dimensional solutions to youth-identified priorities^4,5.

Funding Value

The total amount available for this funding opportunity is $10,500,000, enough to fund approximately seven (7) grants. This amount may increase if additional funding partners participate. The maximum amount per grant is $300,000 per year for up to five (5) years, for a total of $1,500,000 per grant.
