Public Health Agency of Canada, Multi-sectoral Partnerships to Promote Healthy Living and Prevent Chronic Disease
Sponsor/Agency: Public Health Agency of Canada
Program: Multi-sectoral Partnerships to Promote Healthy Living and Prevent Chronic Disease
Description:
The Public Health Agency of Canada (Agency) is pleased to invite eligible organizations to submit a “Letter of Intent” (LOI) to advance innovative, multi-sectoral approaches to promote healthy living and prevent chronic disease. Multi-sectoral approaches involving all segments of society - communities, academia, the charitable and not-for-profit sector and the private sector - are required to address complex social issues such as childhood obesity and the prevention of chronic diseases.
The Integrated Strategy on Healthy Living and Chronic Disease (ISHLCD) provides a framework for the federal government to promote the health of Canadians and reduce the impact of chronic disease in Canada. The funding programs under the ISHLCD include the Healthy Living Fund, the Canadian Diabetes Strategy, the Cancer Community-Based Program and the Cardiovascular Disease program.
Projects to be funded under the ISHLCD must include a focus on at least one of the following:
- Addressing healthy living and healthy weights through a primary prevention initiative
- Addressing common risk factors (i.e. unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use) applicable to a number of the aforementioned chronic diseases
As part of the Government of Canada's five-year renewal of the Federal Tobacco Control Strategy (FTCS) through Budget 2012, interventions under this program stream will target tobacco as a common risk factor for chronic diseases as reinforced in the 2011 United Nations Declaration on Non-Communicable Diseases. The Agency's tobacco investments ensure alignment with broader chronic disease prevention priorities, such as the stakeholder-led National Lung Health Framework.
Projects to be funded under the FTCS must include a focus on at least one of the following:
- Building the capacity of tobacco cessation interveners
- Reinforcing tobacco prevention and cessation in the workplace
- Addressing the elevated risks of urban First Nations people living off-reserve, and Métis people and Inuit people living outside of their traditional communities

The value of your Agency funding request must be a minimum of $100,000 per year over a minimum of a two-year period. Requests that reflect less than $100,000/year, or are under two years in duration, will not be considered. The maximum value of your Agency funding request cannot exceed $5 million per project. The funding duration must be between 24 months (2 years) and 60 months (5 years). A matched funding ratio of 1:1 is required for funding under the ISHLCD.

Final determination of the matched funding ratio for any particular project rests with the Public Health Agency of Canada.
