CIHR Team Grant Webinar: The Canadian Cannabis and Brain Health Consortium

CIHR will be hosting webinar(s) to support participants with the requirements of this funding opportunity and to answer questions.

The current funding opportunity will support up to ten linked population-based cohort studies to address pressing issues on cannabis use and associated impacts on brain health from a lifespan perspective. Each funded team must contribute at least one additional cannabis-focused research study that capitalizes on the research infrastructure, assessment framework and/or database provided by the CCBHC.

Research studies should address one of the priority areas:

    (a) Interventions to reduce cannabis-related harms.

    (b) Controlled trials of cannabis for medical purposes.

    (c) Populations with rare, and/or clinically, complex contexts.

    (d) Scaling of novel cannabis-related measurement methods.

    (e) Parallel pre-clinical cannabis/cannabinoid studies.

    (f) Indigenous Peoples' health and cannabis.

This funding opportunity will support harmonized projects that:

    1. Generate/expand a population-based cohort study that can address pressing issues on cannabis use and brain health from a     lifespan perspective.

    2. Conduct a cannabis research study/studies addressing a key priority area (see call for additional details).
