You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Canadian Institutes of Health Research''' ('''CIHR;''' ((lang-fr|Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada)); '''IRSC''') is a federal agency responsible for funding health and medical research in [[Canada]].<ref>((cite news|date=2011-01-10|title=Major funders to share study data for public health|language=en|work=Reuters|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-research-data-idUSTRE70900V20110110|access-date=2021-10-18))</ref><ref>((Cite web|title=The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)|url=https://www.mcgill.ca/research/research/funding/federal/cihr|website=[[McGill University]]|language=en))</ref> Comprising 13 institutes, it is the successor to the '''Medical Research Council of Canada'''.

CIHR supports more than 15,000 researchers and trainees<ref>((cite web |title=Infographic: Funding world-class research for a healthier future |url=https://cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/53231.html |website=Canadian Institutes of Health Research |publisher=Government of Canada |access-date=20 March 2023))</ref> through grants, fellowships, scholarships, and other funding, as part of the federal government's investment in health research. The [[peer review]] process is a vital part of CIHR. Review by panels of peers from the research community ensures that proposals approved for funding by CIHR meet internationally accepted standards of scientific excellence.

Along with the [[Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council]], and the [[Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council]], the CIHR forms the major source of federal government funding to post-secondary research and are collectively referred to as the "Tri-Council"<ref>((Cite web|last=Government of Canada|first=Interagency Advisory Panel on Research Ethics|date=2019-04-01|title=Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans – TCPS 2 (2018)|url=https://ethics.gc.ca/eng/policy-politique_tcps2-eptc2_2018.html|access-date=2021-12-28|website=ethics.gc.ca))</ref> or "Tri-Agency".<ref>((Cite web|last=Government of Canada|first=Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada|date=2019-12-18|title=NSERC - Inter-Agency, Tri-Agency Financial Administration|url=https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/InterAgency-Interorganismes/TAFA-AFTO/index_eng.asp|access-date=2021-12-28|website=www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca))</ref>

== History ==
CIHR was created by an Act of Parliament on June 7, 2000,<ref>((Cite web |last=Branch |first=Legislative Services |date=2019-06-17 |title=Consolidated federal laws of Canada, Canadian Institutes of Health Research Act |url=https://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/c-18.1/page-1.html |access-date=2022-08-05 |website=laws.justice.gc.ca))</ref> bringing together existing government activities.

In 2021, Carrie Bourassa, the scientific director of CIHR's Indigenous health arm, was placed on immediate leave after the [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC)]] found no evidence to support her repeated claims of Indigenous ancestry.<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/carrie-bourassa-indefinite-leave-indigenous-1.6233247|title=Health scientist Carrie Bourassa on immediate leave after scrutiny of her claim she's Indigenous|website=CBC.ca|last=Leo|first=Geoff|date=November 1, 2021|access-date=December 20, 2021))</ref>

== Governance ==
CIHR is a departmental corporation listed in Schedule II of the ''Financial Administration Act''. As an arms' length agency of government, it is accountable to Parliament through the [[Minister of Health (Canada)|minister of health]]. CIHR is managed by the president and the 17 members of Governing Council,<ref>((Cite web|last=Government of Canada|first=Canadian Institutes of Health Research|date=2005-01-20|title=Executive management - CIHR|url=https://cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/25920.html|access-date=2021-12-28|website=cihr-irsc.gc.ca))</ref> who are assisted by various Standing and Advisory Committees and a 7-member executive team.<ref>((Cite web|last=Government of Canada|first=Canadian Institutes of Health Research|date=2005-01-20|title=Executive management - CIHR|url=https://cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/25920.html|access-date=2021-12-28|website=cihr-irsc.gc.ca))</ref>

== Institute structure ==
CIHR consists of 13 institutes,<ref>((Cite web|title=Getting Funding from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR)|url=https://www.abainternational.org/constituents/scientist/strategies-for-receiving-funding/fund7.aspx|website=[[Association for Behavior Analysis International]]))</ref> each headed by a Scientific Director and assisted by an Institute Advisory Board. They work together to shape a national health research agenda for Canada. The institutes bring together researchers, health professionals, and policy-makers from voluntary health organizations, provincial government agencies, international research organizations, and industry and patient groups from across the country with a shared interest in improving the health of Canadians.

The work of the institutes embraces the four pillars of health research:
# biomedical;<ref>((Cite web|last=Richard F Wintle|date=2012-08-24|title=The unsung heroes behind those big genomics breakthroughs|url=http://www.theguardian.com/science/occams-corner/2012/aug/24/unsung-heroes-big-genomics-breakthroughs|website=[[The Guardian]]|language=en))</ref>

# population health.

A major goal of the institutes is to forge relationships across disciplines to stimulate integrative, multifaceted research agendas that respond to society's health priorities while adhering to the highest ethical standards.
