CIHR Catalyst Grants

In plain language

Short-duration (typically 1 year) seed funding under topical calls — Digital Health, Acute Care, Indigenous Health, Partnering for Impact, etc. Award size varies by call ($100K–$400K). Less competitive than Project Grants. Check the CIHR upcoming opportunities page regularly — calls open and close on tight cycles.
