The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada invites applications for an "Innovations Grant", to fund novel or innovative approaches to IBD research. This grant is intended to stimulate and support research which may not be encompassed within the boundaries of traditional medical research. Research proposals must conform to sound principles of research and may aim to collect pilot data for follow-on application(s). The Foundation seeks mission relevance and excellence as well as innovation. Grants to a maximum of $50,000 for one year may be awarded. There are two deadlines for this competition- the 1st of March and the 1st of September. Please note that at this time we are unable to directly fund Principal investigators (PI’s) outside Canada.

CCFC - CIHR Partnerships for Health System Improvement The intent of the Partnerships for Health System Improvement (PHSI) program is to strengthen Canada's healthcare system through collaborative, applied and policy-relevant research. PHSI is Canada's premier health services and policy research competition — and with its strong emphasis on partnerships and knowledge translation it is also a major resource for managers and policy makers who want relevant research to inform their decision-making. PHSI funds teams of decision makers and researchers to conduct applied health services and policy research. Because they participate throughout the research process the research results are more likely to be relevant to and used by decision makers. PHSI projects can last up to three years and receive up to a maximum of $400,000 from CIHR over the life of the project. Additional funding from external partners is required. As a competition partner in the PHSI program, CCFC is specifically interested in supporting researchers conducting applied and policy-relevant health systems and services research that responds to the needs of health care decision makers and strengthens the Canadian health care system and supports the vision and mission of the CCFC: Mission, Vision, Values - Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada. Eligibility for Competition Partner Support from CCFC: •The Partnership Details form with all relevant fields completed; Final Funding Confirmation Requests for information about the PHSI competition and application process should be directed to CIHR.

The CCFC Visiting Scientist program is designed to allow Canadian institutions to bring in productive scientists having expertise not available within the institution, and to allow Canadian scientists to visit major international research centers in order to acquire knowledge or new techniques related to IBD research. For more information on this program, please click here. The deadline for applications is now past.
The Canadian Association of Gastroenterologists (CAG) administers a national competition under the oversight of and with funding support from the CIHR Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes. Personnel support is funded 50/50 between CIHR and the CCFC. Applications from IBD researchers at various early stages of their careers are considered. A description of each of these application categories is available via the CAG link provided below. Summer studentships
Students at the doctoral and post-doctoral research stages are also encouraged to seek funding from provincial funding organisations. The CCFC now has partnership agreements to support IBD-focused researchers in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Quebec. The links to these programs are as follows: AI-HS Other Opportunities
The CCFC IBD Research Institute will consider applications for financial support of a limited number of requests to hold scientific meetings relevant to inflammatory bowel disease. Interested applicants should submit a one-page summary providing details of the meeting, specifically addressing how the request applies to the CCFC mission of finding the cure for IBD. A budget is required as well. Average awards are from $1,000 - $5,000. Please note that conference funds awarded cannot be sent outside Canada. CCFC Symposium Sponsorship Request Template
UCBeyond Scholarship Program 2011 UCBeyond Scholarship Program Cancelled: UCB Canada has informed CCFC it will not be funding the UCBeyond Scholarship Program this year and that the probability of the Scholarship Program being reintroduced is unlikely. The UCBeyond Scholarship Program awarded eight (8), one-time scholarships of up to $5,000 CDN each to people diagnosed with Crohn's disease. The winners demonstrated academic ambition and had to use their scholarship toward post-secondary education (i.e. university, college, trade school, etc.).
The CCFC awards an annual book prize (value $250) to a deserving student at each Canadian Medical School with a view to encouraging students in the area of gastrointestinal disease.
