The Victorian Neurotrauma Initiative (VNI) in Melbourne/Geelong, Australia and the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation (ONF) in Toronto, Canada are pleased to announce the outcomes of an international collaboration to promote research and knowledge mobilization that will improve the quality of life for those living with a spinal cord or
traumatic brain injury.
“We are excited by the opportunity to work with researchers in both our countries and expand our capacity to address these complex issues” stated Melinda Rockell, Executive Officer of the Victorian Neurotrauma Initiative. “Harnessing the collective expertise of our research communities is a significant accomplishment for our partnership.”

Announcement
The CIHR Institute of Population and Public Health and its partners announce a strategic initiative entitled “Programmatic Research to Tackle Health and Health Equity”.
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support programmatic operating grants in population and public health research. Programmatic research involves connected sequences of conceptually related research projects, executed by the same group of investigators and their decision-making partners. This initiative will support programs of research in the following areas: 1) pathways to health equity, 2) population health interventions, and 3) implementation systems for population health interventions in public health and other sectors.
Programmatic Research to Tackle Health and Health Equity
The CIHR Institute of Population and Public Health, in partnership with the CIHR Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction, the New Brunswick Health Research Foundation and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, will soon launch a strategic initiative entitled “Programmatic research to tackle health and health equity”. Programmatic research involves connected sequences of conceptually related research projects, executed by the same group of investigators and their decision-making partners. This RFA will support programs of research in the following areas: 1) Pathways to health equity, 2) Population health interventions, and 3) Implementation systems for population health interventions in public health and other sectors.
Please visit the CIHR website in March for more details about this funding opportunity.
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support the prompt initiation of intervention research on rapidly unfolding programs, policies and resource distribution approaches that have the potential to impact health and health equity at the population level. This funding opportunity strongly encourages close collaboration between program implementers (e.g. decision-makers and researchers). Only research projects that are out of the control of the researcher will be considered, meaning that the researcher is not responsible for designing or implementing the intervention.
The maximum amount awarded for a single grant is $100,000 per year for up to 2 years.
Please visit Research Net for further details.

The Canadian Agricultural Safety and Health Program (CASHP) has set new guidelines for funding ag safety initiatives that support CASA’s mission to make the ag sector a safe place to work and live by helping producers see and manage risk in their workplace.
CASA project manager Jonas Johnson says projects should fit one of four priority areas – research and development; safe farm operations and management; communications; building sector capacity to implement safety on farms.
