Team Grant: Health Effects of Ultra-Processed Foods - In HDCYH -LOI

FY 2026-27 · 2026-04-01

Summary
The objectives of the Team Grants: Health Effects of Ultra-Processed Foods funding opportunity are to fund new interdisciplinary research that will generate evidence on the health impacts of UPFs to inform policies and regulations that will improve health equity and the health of Canadians across the lifespan by: • Investigating the biological mechanisms through which UPFs as a whole or their specific components contribute to the development and progression of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) at different ages and life stages and/or lead to accelerated biological aging with onset of frailty and cognitive decline. • Understanding the structural determinants of UPF production, distribution, regulation and consumption in Canada and globally and their inequitable impacts on population health.

Description (French)
La possibilité de financement Subventions d’équipe : Incidence des aliments ultratransformés sur la santé vise à appuyer des projets de recherche interdisciplinaire qui produiront des données probantes relatives aux effets des AUT sur la santé et utiles à l’élaboration de politiques et de règlements favorables à l’équité en santé et à l’amélioration de la santé de la population canadienne à toutes les étapes de la vie. Objectifs : • Étudier les mécanismes biologiques qui permettent aux AUT ou à certaines de leurs composantes de favoriser l’apparition et la progression de maladies non transmissibles (MNT) à certains âges ou à certaines étapes de la vie et l’accélération du vieillissement biologique (fragilité accrue, déclin cognitif, etc.); • Expliquer les déterminants structurels qui entourent la production, la distribution, la réglementation et la consommation des AUF au Canada et ailleurs dans le monde, ainsi que l’iniquité qui prévaut entre groupes de population face à ses conséquences sur la santé.
Expected Results
This program provides funding for targeted grants and awards aimed at addressing priority areas. Priorities are identified by CIHR in consultation with other government departments and agencies, partners and stakeholders. The program mobilizes researchers, patients, health providers, and decision makers to conduct research, enable knowledge translation and build capacity in the priority areas. It often requires collaboration within and across sectors.
Expected Results (French)
Ce programme offre des subventions et des bourses ciblées dans les domaines prioritaires. Les priorités sont établies par les IRSC en consultation avec d’autres ministères et organismes gouvernementaux, des partenaires et des intervenants. Le programme mobilise des chercheurs, des patients, des fournisseurs de soins de santé et des décideurs afin qu’ils participent à la conduite de travaux de recherche, favorisent l’application des connaissances et renforcent les capacités dans les domaines prioritaires. Il nécessite souvent des collaborations intrasectorielles et intersectorielles.
