The Centre for Research on Pandemic Preparedness and Health Emergencies (CRPPHE) is housed at CIHR with a mandate to grow Canada's research leadership in preparedness, prevention, response, and recovery from pandemics and public health emergencies, including by building and supporting Canadian research capacity in the field. CRPPHE will offer multi-year funding to support research projects that are aligned with the CRPPHE overall goal and objectives and which have a primary research objective related to preparing for and/or responding to existing and future pandemics and other health emergencies* and fall within the following research areas: • Behavioural sciences related to improving the uptake of public health recommendations and interventions (pharmaceutical or non-pharmaceutical) including in populations experiencing systemic inequities, conditions of marginalization, Indigenous Peoples and/or among populations who are historically under-served by public systems. • Health Systems Research (including public health systems) focused on improving integration of research and practice, and/or developing capacity within the health system for actionable, equitable, and solution-oriented health research during health emergencies that is relevant, timely, and informed by practice, patients and/or communities. This focus aligns with the Strategy on Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) and the Institute of Health Services and Policy Research’s (IHSPR) Strategic Plan to advance the Quadruple Aim and Health Equity. • Indigenous Health Research focused on health emergency preparedness and response and that promotes Indigenous community collaborations and communities’ right to self-determination. • Infectious disease modelling using statistical, mathematical or computational approaches to inform decisions on disease prevention, surveillance, control and treatment including economic modeling. • One Health – interdisciplinary and holistic approaches to prevent and address emerging or re-emerging zoonotic pathogens of pandemic potential.
