  21. CIHR Institutes* CIHR integrates research through a unique interdisciplinary structure made up of 13 "virtual" institutes. CIHR's Institutes are not buildings or research centres, but networks of researchers brought together to focus on important health problems. • Aboriginal Peoples' Health • Aging • Cancer Research • Circulatory and Respiratory Health • Gender and Health • Genetics • Health Services and Policy Research • Human Development, Child and Youth Health • Infection and Immunity • Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis • Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction • Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes • Population and Public Health

  23. New at CIHR CIHR categorizes health research in four broad themes: • Biomedical Research * • Clinical Research * • Health Services Research * • Social, Cultural, Environmental and Population Health Research * These areas of research are not mutually exclusive; therefore the definitions are intended as guides and not as descriptions of eligible areas of research.
