The Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA) Phase III Research Teams Funding Opportunity is open to the diverse neurodegenerative diseases research community to carry out research projects that align with the three CCNA research themes (primary prevention, secondary prevention and treatment, quality of life) and the National Dementia Strategy (NDS).

The partnership tool aims to facilitate connections to support engagement throughout the research process.  For example, it can help teams connect with researchers and knowledge users (KU)* to inform and strengthen the application development and planning of knowledge mobilization and dissemination strategies/activities.

To be included in the partnership tool, please complete the short form below.  This form can be completed by researchers and KUs, including people with lived and living experience and decision makers, who are interested in sharing information and/or establishing collaborations for this funding opportunity.

The information provided will be shared publicly on CIHR’s web page, which will be updated regularly.

We encourage all the applicants for the CCNA Phase III Research Teams Funding Opportunity to complete this form to allow optimal exchange between all applicants.

Note that completing this form is voluntary as it is not a requirement of the application process and does not confer any advantages in the evaluation and funding of applications. Furthermore, potential applicants are not required to contact those who have chosen to make their information available through the Partnership tool.

By completing and submitting this form, you are consenting to having your responses posted, unedited** and in the language of submission (English or French). You may request to have your information edited or removed at any time by sending a request to BHCIA-SCTCV@cihr-irsc.gc.ca. Requests for edits or removal of information will be actioned regularly. If you have requested that your name and information be removed and then choose to be reinstated on the list, you will need to complete and submit the form again.

Should you have any questions regarding this form or the tool, please email BHCIA-SCTCV@cihr-irsc.gc.ca.


*At CIHR, a knowledge user (KU) is defined as an individual who is likely to be able to use research results to make informed decisions about health policies, programs and/or practices. A knowledge user's level of engagement in the research process may vary in intensity and complexity depending on the nature of the research.

A knowledge user can be, but is not limited to, a practitioner, a policy maker, an educator, a decision maker, a health care administrator, a community leader or an individual in a health charity, patient group, person(s), private sector organization or media outlet.
