Industry Partnered Collaborative Research Grants

Industry Partnered Collaborative Research Grants

CIHR's Knowledge Translation Branch

5 years

The Industry-Partnered Collaborative Research Operating Grant program provides funding for collaborative research projects involving the academic community and Canadian industry partners sharing an interest in health R&D. The research planned should be beneficial to both parties, while improving the quality of health of Canadians. Projects may be initiated by either party; however, the academic researcher is responsible for applying for the grant.

The IPCR Operating Grant supports research projects that incorporate an integrated knowledge translation (KT) approach. Integrated KT describes a different way of doing research with researchers and knowledge users working together to shape the research process. This program requires that the academic researcher and industry partner (knowledge user) work collaboratively throughout the research process. The industry partner should be engaged in the appropriate stages of the research project; from shaping the research question to disseminating and moving the research into practice.
