Interdisciplinary Challenge Teams (ICTs) are integrated teams of researchers from different disciplines and users who work together to address specific questions, achieve relevant deliverables and, ultimately, reduce the carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions of Canada’s agriculture and food systems.
Genome Canada and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) launched this funding opportunity to map and mobilize research on shifting dynamics of privilege and marginalization.

Living with cancer longer is possible due to better cancer treatments but these treatments can damage the cardiovascular system. This can happen in up to 15-20% of people receiving treatment for breast and other aggressive cancers. The purpose of this project is to develop a state-of-the-art database system, called the CArdiotoxicity Prevention Research Investigation (CAPRI).

Unchecked inflammation underlies complex immune-mediated conditions, including arthritis, resulting in significant morbidity and high costs. This project aims to overcome the barriers to integrate precision health data and accelerate its translation and application into practice in the context of inflammatory arthritis. Precision Health requires standardized data collection and integration including clinical, environmental, biologic, and administrative
