New Investigator Research Grants
New Investigator Research Grants is a jointly sponsored program of SickKids Foundation and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research - Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health (IHDCYH). Grant recipients may obtain up to three years' support for research in biomedical, clinical, health systems and services, population and public health sectors.
New Investigator Research Grants provide important early career development support to child health researchers. It is intended that New Investigator Research Grants will enhance the grant recipient's ability to compete with more senior investigators for research grants from other funders.
Application Submission Deadline: Tuesday, November 15, 2011.

Eligibility Criteria for the New Investigator Research Grants
We are seeking to fund research carried out by new investigators across Canada who successfully lead, participate in, and translate outstanding child health research that will respond to children’s health challenges and needs.
The applicant must be a new investigator at the date of application; i.e., at the time of application deadline:
- has not received a peer reviewed multi-year operating grant in the amount of $100,000 or more annually.
- is within five years of having taken up their first academic appointment (academic appointment is defined as an appointment which allows an individual to apply for research grants as an independent investigator).
- Has at least 50% of protected research time for the duration of the project.
- without an academic appointment, the equivalent would be a clinician, health care worker, complementary and alternative health care practitioner, or other community worker who does not have an academic appointment, but who has institutional support (through a registered charity) to do research as a principal investigator.
