Overview
Operating grant for rigorous evaluation and implementation-science research on youth mental-health interventions being scaled in Canadian real-world settings.
Complete grant details
Eligible research can include feasibility, efficacy or effectiveness and implementation studies of evidence-informed interventions, provided the project includes at least one youth mental-health outcome and meets the competition's partner and methodological requirements. Registration closes October 22 and the application closes November 5, 2026.
Eligibility requirements
Research teams must satisfy CIHR's detailed ResearchNet criteria. The nominated principal applicant must include at least one Canadian organization implementing the youth mental-health intervention under study; projects should avoid duplication and cannot use the opportunity to create entirely new interventions without the preliminary evidence required by the call.
Tips for this grant
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
CIHR's official Youth Mental Health page lists registration October 22, 2026 and application November 5, 2026. The page's displayed anticipated-decision year appears inconsistent with the application date, so that field is omitted rather than corrected by inference.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
