Catalyst Grant: Muscle and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation

The CIHR's Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis and the Institute of Aging are pleased to announce the results of the 2007 competition of the Catalyst Grant: Muscle and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Funding Opportunity (see table below).

The primary objectives of the Catalyst Grant program are to:

• Generate preliminary observations, data or knowledge, or to facilitate team formation, as a first step towards the pursuit of more comprehensive funding opportunities (e.g., operating grants, team grants) by researchers or teams of researchers.

The Catalyst Grant program is further expected to contribute to:

• Providing new or established investigators with funding to pursue new areas of investigation;
• Providing the opportunity for a unique combination (e.g. multi-disciplinary, trans-disciplinary, international) of individual researchers to develop as a team;
• Mobilization of research communities to develop research agendas and/or action plans to advance research in specific priority areas.
