Results – Operating Grant: Knowledge Synthesis and Mobilization Grants (Brain Health and Reduction of Risk for Age-related Cognitive Impairment - Knowledge Synthesis and Mobilization Grants)
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Institute of Aging is pleased to share the funding decision for the Brain Health and Cognitive Impairment in Aging (BHCIA): Knowledge Synthesis and Mobilization Grants.
This Funding Opportunity (FO) was launched to support the development of knowledge syntheses, using an equity, diversity and inclusion lens, to assess the current state of knowledge and evidence base, and identify strengths and gaps in research areas related to the promotion of brain health and risk reduction for age-related cognitive impairment.
With the support of our partners, the CIHR Institute of Gender and Health, the CIHR Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health, the Azrieli Foundation (including the Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence) and the Weston Family Foundation, 16 projects were funded with a total investment of over 1.5 million dollars.
