CIHR Catalyst Grant: Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) Innovative Clinical Trials (iCT)

Program Description

The CIHR Catalyst Grant: SPOR Innovative Clinical Trials (iCT) aims to provide seed funding for the development of research collaborations across disciplines, including collaborations with People with Lived Experience (PWLE), and to develop novel research perspectives in early research stages in preparation for larger Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) Innovative Clinical Trials (iCT) multi-year grants or operating grant applications. Clinical trials are research studies involving human participants that evaluate the efficacy, safety, and effectiveness of clinical treatments and devices (e.g., drugs, lifestyle interventions, etc.) on health outcomes. Catalyst grants support developing new and transformative methods relevant to iCTs, with the potential to generate high impact results.
