Catalyst Grant : Health Impacts of Gambling and Gaming
50% funding for health research, knowledge translation, and commercialization projects.
The majority of Canadians partake in some form of gambling, and for some, this can lead to the development of problematic gambling behaviours and even gambling disorder. This is associated not only with financial loss, but also with effects on the physical and/or mental health of the individual. The recent increase of gambling advertising, the creation of legal gambling markets especially in online sports betting and increased availability of gambling through new technologies have the potential to impact problematic gambling rates in Canada. The increase in popularity of gambling and gaming calls for research to better inform interventions and policies to minimize harms to Canadians.

Cellular and Molecular Biology of Complex Brain Disorders (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages research on the biology of high confidence risk factors associated with complex brain disorders, with a focus on the intracellular, transcellular and circuit substrates of neural function. For the purposes of this FOA, the term complex can refer to a multifactorial contribution to risk (e.g., polygenic and/or environmental) and/or highly distributed functional features of the brain disorder. Studies may be either hypothesis-generating (unbiased discovery) or hypothesis-testing in design and may utilize in vivo, in situ, or in vitro experimental paradigms, e.g., model organisms or human cell-based assays. While behavioral paradigms and outcome measures can be incorporated into the research design to facilitate the characterization of intracellular, transcellular and circuit mechanisms, these are neither required nor expected. Studies should not attempt to model disorders but instead should aim to elucidate the neurobiological impact of individual or combined risk factor(s), such as the affected molecular and cellular components and their relationships within defined biological process(es). This can include the fundamental biology of these factors, components and processes. The resulting paradigms, component pathways and biological processes should be disseminated with sufficient detail to enrich common and/or federated data resources (e.g., those contributing to the Gene Ontology, Synaptic Gene Ontology, FAIR Data Informatics) in order to bridge the gap between disease risk factors, biological mechanism and therapeutic target identification. The present announcement seeks R21 applications for high risk or early stage exploratory research.
