In December 2017, CIHR invested $1.4 million to support 14 projects to catalyze future research related to the health impacts of cannabis legalization. The purpose of this current funding opportunity is to strengthen the evidence base and expand cannabis research in identified areas.

This targeted investment in cannabis research will provide support for health research activities such as:

• pilot projects or feasibility studies aiming to generate preliminary data, observations or knowledge;
• novel projects which clearly demonstrate the potential for significant impact, but which are considered high risk in nature in that they may be unsupported by proof of concept or preliminary data;
• new tools, methodologies, protocols, theoretical models or frameworks;
• planning and/or development activities of expert teams (e.g., multi-disciplinary, trans-disciplinary, etc.) coming together to address health research priorities; and
• secondary analyses to provide an opportunity for expert analyses of existing data sets, improve the evidence for decision-making and create new knowledge.

The total amount available for this funding opportunity is $3,000,000, enough to fund approximately 24 grants.听The maximum amount per grant is $125,000 per year for up to 1 year.
