Description
Crohn’s and Colitis Canada’s Innovations in IBD (INN) program is committed to supporting novel or innovative research on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
The program is intended to stimulate and support IBD-related research which may not be encompassed within the boundaries of other research funders. This includes pilot projects and high-risk but innovative ideas that could potentially contribute significantly to the advancement of finding the cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and/or improving the quality of life of people with these diseases. This competition will fund innovative projects deemed scientifically excellent, will refine hypotheses and/or produce preliminary data that will help seed larger projects, and have the potential to improve diagnosis, therapy or prevention of IBD.
Eligibility
Postdoctoral fellows or investigators who hold an academic appointment at a Canadian university in a Faculty of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine or other Graduate Faculty are eligible to apply to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada as principal investigator for grant support of their research. The research proposed must have a clear connection to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada’s Promise. Principal Investigators must reside in Canada to apply for funding. Co-Principal Investigators based outside of Canada are acceptable.
A Co-Principal Investigator is an individual who is expected to actively participate in the proposed activities but not to direct them.
A Collaborator is an individual whose role in the proposed activities is to provide a specific service (e.g. access to equipment, provision of specific reagents, training in a specialized technique, statistical analysis, access to a patient population, etc.).
If an applicant does not hold an academic appointment at the time of submitting an application, a cover letter from the Dean of the Faculty must be uploaded to the application, indicating the planned position and the date it will take effect. Investigators in Faculties other than the health sciences may also apply if the proposed research is deemed relevant to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada’s Promise and strategic directions.
