Description

The CIHR Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health (IHDCYH) is launching its fifth round of the IHDCYH Talks Video Competition, a unique opportunity to submit short videos (recommended maximum length of 5 minutes) sharing evidence-based messages in the area of maternal, reproductive, child and youth health. This competition encourages the production of videos that present a clear evidence-based message to a lay audience that is designed to have a positive impact on the health of children, youth and families.

This competition is soliciting videos not just from members of the research community, but also more widely from non-governmental or not-for-profit organizations (including community or charitable organizations), as well as members of the general public who are able to demonstrate a clear, evidence-based message related to IHDCYH's mandate.

Successful videos will be posted on CIHR and IHDCYH social media and shared through other communications channels. It is important that the content be engaging, easily understood and accessible to a lay audience.

Funds Available

CIHR and partner(s) financial contributions for this initiative are subject to availability of funds. Should CIHR or partner(s) funding levels not be available or are decreased due to unforeseen circumstances, CIHR and partner(s) reserve the right to reduce, defer or suspend financial contributions to awards received as a result of this funding opportunity.

• The total amount available for this funding opportunity is $5,500, enough to fund four prizes.
• Of this $5,500:
  • $3,000 is available to fund 1 first place prize
  • $1,000 is available to fund 1 runner-up prize
  • $1,500 is available to fund 2 specially commended prizes of $750 each.

Objectives

The IHDCYH Talks is expected to:

• Improve knowledge translation and help demonstrate the impact that evidence can and does have on maternal, reproductive, child and youth health in Canada.

Eligibility

Eligibility to Apply

For an application to be eligible:

1. The Nominated Principal Applicant must be one of the following:
   1. An independent researcher
   2. A knowledge user
   3. A trainee
   4. A representative from a Canadian non-governmental or not-for-profit organization (including community or charitable organizations) with an explicit health research or knowledge translation element within their mandate.

   5. A member of the general public who is able to demonstrate a clear, evidence-based message related to IHDCYH's mandate.
2. The individuals appearing in the video must sign and be identified in a Consent Form.

Evaluation Criteria

Ninety percent (90%) of the rating of the applications for the IHDCYH Talks Awards will be obtained through an assessment by a peer review committee, based on the strength of the video relative to the following criteria:

• Relevance (35%): The extent to which the video successfully presents evidence-based research related to IHDCYH's mandate and/or strategic research priorities that incorporate a message designed to have a positive impact on the health of children, youth and families. A clear description of the evidence used in the video must either be part of the video or included in the Research Summary of the application.
• Accessibility (25%): The content is delivered in a language that can be understood by a lay audience. It is engaging and provided in a creative manner.
• Innovation & Creativity (20%): The overall originality of the video; use of original ideas, illustrations and style.
