  21. CIHR Institutes* CIHR integrates research through a unique interdisciplinary structure made up of 13 "virtual" institutes. CIHR's Institutes are not buildings or research centres, but networks of researchers brought together to focus on important health problems. • Aboriginal Peoples' Health • Aging • Cancer Research • Circulatory and Respiratory Health • Gender and Health • Genetics • Health Services and Policy Research • Human Development, Child and Youth Health • Infection and Immunity • Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis • Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction • Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes • Population and Public Health

CIHR Catalyst Grants Provides seed money, on a short-term basis, to support health research activities which represent a first step towards the pursuit of more comprehensive funding opportunities (e.g. operating grants, team grants). • Catalyst Grant: HIV/AIDS (Community-Based Research) (2010-2011)Deadline 2010-10-18 • Catalyst Grant: HIV/AIDS and co-morbiditiesDeadline 2010-10-15 • Catalyst Grant: Maternal Health - From Pre-conception to the Empty Nest Deadline 2010-09-01 • Catalyst Grant: Pilot Projects in Aging (2010)LOI: 2010-08-31.

  23. New at CIHR CIHR categorizes health research in four broad themes: • Biomedical Research * • Clinical Research * • Health Services Research * • Social, Cultural, Environmental and Population Health Research * These areas of research are not mutually exclusive; therefore the definitions are intended as guides and not as descriptions of eligible areas of research.
