Opportunity Details
Phase II of the Joint Canada-Israel Health Research Program (the Program) seeks to support cutting-edge research in the biomedical sciences and global health. This third call for proposals under Phase II is directed toward applicants conducting research in the area of Human Developmental Biology while strengthening capacity in Canada, Israel and in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC).
The Program will support world-class research projects co-led by three principal investigators: one from Canada, one from Israel and one from an eligible LMIC (refer to Appendix A and IDRC website for the list of eligible countries). The teams will integrate researchers from all three geographies with the intention of strengthening scientific capacity, promoting collaboration, equitable partnerships, and scientific excellence in all its diversity. It is expected that the three principal investigators will work together on an integrated, and cohesive research project equitably contributing to and benefiting from their involvement in the project and the Program.
