2. Financing, Sustainability and Governance
Summary:
- The CIHR Institute of Health Services and Policy Research (CIHR-IHSPR) will support successful Knowledge Synthesis applications that are determined to be relevant to the research priority area of Financing, Sustainability and Governance
- The financing, sustainability and governance of Canada's healthcare system have been the focus of vigorous discussions and debate. These issues are often framed in terms of the ability of governments to adequately finance health care in the face of growing demand and cost pressures (e.g., population aging, new drugs and technologies, and consumer expectations), while maintaining timely access to high-quality and affordable health care. The underlying sustainability issue – balancing rising cost pressures against limited public resources and assessing necessary trade-offs – is also a major concern, and all the more so in the context of the expiry of the current Health Accord in 2014. Central to the financing and sustainability of the healthcare system are governance structures that support and incent evidence-informed and accountable decision-making throughout the system with a view to improved efficiency and patient outcomes. Despite the attention and debate surrounding these issues, there are significant gaps in knowledge. CIHR-IHSPR will fund syntheses that advance the current state of knowledge and contribute to evidence-informed decision-making on the financing, sustainability and governance of Canada's healthcare system.
- Examples of eligible areas of research include the following:
- Evidence related to the sustainability of the current mix of public and private financing (deployed as it presently is in varying degrees in different sectors and across different jurisdictions) and the effects of potential changes to the mix on accessibility, affordability, cost, appropriate use, continuity, and/or quality of care across different health care sectors.
- Defining sustainability in the context of Canada's healthcare system; identifying frameworks and metrics for measuring sustainability; and identifying best approaches and pathways to ensuring the sustainability of the healthcare system.
- The strengths and limitations of different models of financing health care services not covered by the Canada Health Act (e.g., pharmaceuticals outside of hospitals and long-term care) with specific regard to the sustainability of the healthcare system and the accessibility, affordability and quality of care for individuals.
- The impacts of out-of-pocket health care costs on patients and their families and the strengths and weaknesses of various policy initiatives (e.g., tax credits or deductions, individual savings plans) designed to mitigate these impacts.
- The strengths and weaknesses of various national and international financing arrangements and/or governance structures and their impact on the sustainability, accessibility, efficiency and quality of those healthcare systems.
- The state of the private health insurance market in Canada (e.g., what evidence exists? What are our gaps in knowledge?), the current strengths and limitations, and the risks and opportunities associated with its expansion.
- The effects of various health care financing and funding models on equity and access, health care experiences, and outcomes of: (1) patients, families and other informal caregivers; and/or (2) vulnerable and at-risk populations (e.g., Aboriginal peoples, the frail elderly, children and youth, individuals with mental illness, etc.).
- Governance structures that contribute to the sustainability of the healthcare system by supporting and incentivizing accountable decision-making; the efficient use of resources; coordinated and integrated health care delivery; and improved outcomes throughout the healthcare system (e.g., primary and community-based care, secondary care, etc) and at the appropriate level of responsibility (e.g., provincial, regional, local).
- The strengths and weaknesses of various funding models (e.g., pay-for-performance, activity-based funding, capitation, mixed payment systems) and their impact on outcome measures like quality of care, efficiency of care delivery, equity of access, appropriate use, cost and health outcomes.
- Ethical frameworks for resource allocation decisions associated with new and emerging drugs, technologies, and customized therapies and their effects on accessibility, appropriate use, and/or cost to individuals and healthcare system.
Funds Available:
- The total amount available for this funding opportunity is $200,000. This amount may increase if additional funding partners decide to participate.
- The maximum amount awarded for a single grant is $100,000 per annum for up to one year.
Specific Requirements:
- This Priority Announcement will require the completion of a Relevance Form.
- As part of the application, researchers are expected to position their proposed synthesis in relation to what already exists. To this end, a list of syntheses addressing health services and policy research topics (systematic reviews of the effects of governance, financial and delivery arrangements) is available. In addition, a list of all CIHR-funded syntheses is available in CIHR's Funded Research Database. These lists are not comprehensive or exhaustive. It is expected that researchers will consult these lists, as well as other sources, in order to make their case about the need for the proposed synthesis and/or the extent to which the proposed synthesis will build on but not duplicate existing syntheses.

3. Improve Health and Promote Health Equity
Summary:
- The CIHR Institute of Population and Public Health (CIHR-IPPH) will fund applications that are determined to be relevant to the research priority areas described below:
- Pathways to Health Equity
- This strategic priority focuses on understanding the pathways or interrelated factors that produce a shift toward health equity and improvements to the health of populations and population sub-groups, both within and between countries. Pathways that operate at all system levels, from micro to macro, are of interest, including those that intersect with individual transitions (e.g., stages in the life course) and societal transitions (e.g., demographic and economic shifts and urbanization). Furthering our understanding of the pathways that produce equities and inequities in population health is fundamental to the design of effective population health interventions in developed and developing country contexts.
- Population health interventions
- Population health interventions are often complex and can include policy, program, and resource-distribution approaches. Their complexity arises from the fact that they are frequently aimed at more than one system level, involve the use of multiple strategies, and require implementation both within and outside the health sector. In addition, population health interventions are introduced into systems that are in and of themselves dynamic and complex.
- This priority research strategy has two major focuses: to address complex population health interventions that are characterized as context relevant and adaptable to dynamic contexts and that involve working across sectors and system levels; and to examine how population health interventions do or do not improve health and health equity.
- Implementation Systems for Population Health Interventions in Public Health and Other Sectors
- Within the health sector, the public health workforce usually holds primary responsibility for implementing population health interventions. These interventions, however, often require implementation, either in whole or in part, through other sectors. For example, school health programs are implemented in the education sector, while occupational health initiatives must engage unions as well as the particular sectors in which the populations are employed.
- This strategic research priority focuses on implementation systems for population health interventions within and outside the health sector, with an emphasis on intersectoral implementation and scale-up. Factors influencing such systems include interorganizational, intersectoral, and interjurisdictional governance structures; leadership support; system absorption capacities; and information-exchange mechanisms. Given that implementation systems may strengthen or mitigate the potential impacts of population health interventions on health and health equity, these reciprocal influences are also of interest.
- Note: CIHR-IPPH recognizes the important role that collaborations play in improving and advancing the health of Canadians and citizens around the world. As a result, CIHR-IPPH wishes to support collaborations between Canadian researchers and those in low- and middle-income countries, through the provision of Synthesis Grants.
- More information on the research priorities of the Institute can be found in the strategic plan on their web site.

5. Military and Veteran Health (Updated: 2010-08-10)
Summary:
- The KT Branch of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Canadian Military and Veteran Health Research Network are collaborating to build a better understanding of the health and well-being of military personnel, Veterans and their families.
- Military personnel and Veterans have unique experiences in the service of their country, which can impact their physical, mental and social health in a manner not experienced by the rest of the population. During this time of active deployment, injuries and loss of life are considerable. Consequently, an increased need for research on the health and well-being of military personnel, Veterans and their families exists, which is specific to the unique health issues and challenges they experience. With this in mind, the KT Branch has allocated funding to support syntheses that aim to summarize existing research in this area in an effort to determine the gaps within the knowledge base.
- Examples of eligible areas of research include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Improving protocols for pre-hospital care (e.g., aid tactical medical training and practice)
- pre-hospital airway
- pre-hospital C-spine
- pre-hospital use of antibiotics
- alternate routes for analgesia
- far forward use of ultra-sound (indications, training, etc.)
- Topical hemostatic agents
- Education issues: skill retention, refresher frequency, etc.
- Correlation of baseline fitness with basic training success and injury rates
- NATO armies level of recruit fitness
- identify level of fitness for a Canadian Forces cohort (representative sample) characterization of profile of injuries and rate for cohort
- analysis of fitness and injury
- Risk factors of fitness and injury within military population (e.g., what are the knowledge gaps)
- Metabolic syndrome and military service
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Optimum approaches to rehabilitation for disabilities related to chronic physical and mental health conditions arising from military service
- Connection between military service and physical, mental and social health conditions later in the life course
- Impacts of military service on families throughout the life course
- More information on research priorities can be found on the Military and Veteran Health Research Forum website under "Conference Background".

6. Physical activity, sedentary behaviours and health (Updated: 2010-08-10)
Summary:
- The Public Health Agency of Canada's (PHAC) primary goal is to strengthen Canada's capacity to protect and improve the health of Canadians and to help reduce pressures on the health-care system. PHAC, through the Healthy Living Unit, works closely with public health, healthy living, sport, and recreation counterparts in provinces and territories across Canada to focus on healthy eating and physical activity as a way to maintain a healthy weight and decrease the risk of chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
- PHAC will fund knowledge syntheses that support the development of public health guidelines in the areas of physical activity for health among preschool children and for sedentary behaviour and health among a range of age groups.
- Knowledge synthesis on physical activity guidelines for health will focus on preschool children under the age of 6. The goal of this synthesis is to summarize the evidence on the relationship between physical activity and health among preschool children in order to provide public health guidance on what types and how much physical activity preschool children should engage in. Priority will be given to proposals that include but do not limit outcome indicators to overweight and obesity.
- Knowledge synthesis on sedentary behaviour and health will focus on at least one age group from among preschool children, children and youth, adults, and/or older adults. The goal of this synthesis is to summarize the evidence on the relationship between sedentary behaviour and health in order to provide public health guidance on sedentary behaviour. Some areas of particular interest to PHAC include screen time as a sedentary behaviour, and overweight and obesity as outcome indicators.
- Knowledge synthesis on physical activity guidelines for health for individuals with disabilities. The goal of this synthesis is to summarize the evidence on the relationship between physical activity and health among individuals with disabilities in order to provide public health guidance on what types and how much physical activity individuals with disabilities should engage in. Given the wide range of disabilities that may exist, syntheses may focus on specific types of disabilities. (Updated: 2010-08-18)

8. Tri-Agency Partnership on Knowledge Syntheses on the Environment (Updated: 2010-08-10)
Summary:
The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) will be partnering through this funding opportunity to support knowledge syntheses on the environment. Clearly a concern to Canadians, improving the environment was included among the Government of Canada's top five priorities in the 2007 Speech to the Throne. It is also one of the four priorities of Mobilizing Science and Technology to Canada's Advantage, the Government of Canada's science and technology strategy.
The agencies will be collaborating to support research on cross-cutting, multi-disciplinary initiatives designed to address important scientific and scholarly opportunities and problems that matter to Canadians. The environment is a multi-faceted topic that will require contributions from across the many disciplines of Canada's research community. With this in mind, the three agencies will provide support for multi-disciplinary teams of researchers who plan to draw on, and synthesize, existing knowledge and scholarship to respond to knowledge gaps identified by the variety of stakeholders involved in improving the environment.
The three agencies will support syntheses on complex interactions between the environment and one or more other sectors – particularly health, energy and natural resources, and information and communications technology (see graphic). Where appropriate, syntheses should address social, economic and cultural aspects, including governance and policy issues, of the intersection between:
- The environment and the health of Canadians;
- Energy/natural resources and the environment;
- Information and communications technologies and the environment; or
- Any combination of the above.
Funds Available:
- The total amount available for this initiative is $750,000. This amount may increase if additional funding partners decide to participate.
- The maximum amount awarded for a single grant is $100,000 per annum for up to 1 year.
- CIHR and partner contribution to the amount available for this initiative is subject to availability of funds. Should CIHR or partner funding levels not be available or are decreased for some overseen circumstances, CIHR and partner reserve the right to defer or suspend payments.
