CIHR Strategic Initiatives

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Strategic Initiatives are special programs that focus on urgent and important health challenges. They bring together researchers, government, and partners to find innovative solutions for issues like mental health, aging, or health system improvements. These initiatives provide funding and support to target specific priorities, accelerating research and translating findings into real-world benefits. By focusing on strategic areas, CIHR aims to improve health outcomes for Canadians and advance scientific understanding in key fields.
