MSFHR Reach Awards

Sponsor: Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research

These awards will provide funding to support the dissemination and uptake of research evidence to inform and improve further research, practice and policy-making.

Value: Maximum award amount is $10,000, for up to 12 months.

Note:
Each team must have at least one BC research/health professional trainee (e.g. undergraduate, graduate, post-doctoral and/or clinical fellows) as a team member included in a meaningful way to enhance their knowledge translation experience and skills.

Peter Wall International Research Roundtables

Value: The proposed budget may range from $20,000 to $45,000. The award will support meeting expenses for a Roundtable at the Peter Wall Institute in Vancouver, Canada, for two to five days. Award funds may be used to cover accommodation, meals and travel costs, for up to 20 participants for the duration of the Roundtable.

Field of Interest Develop Grants

Sponsor: Vancouver Foundation

Develop grants are short-term grants to help project teams explore complex social issues and to develop viable projects that might address these issues through social innovation. Project teams will have already begun working on this idea and need further support to move the idea forward to become a viable project plan.

Value: The grant provides a maximum of $10,000 for up to one year.

Currently two Fields of Interest are available, each with their own deadlines. Please contact Heather Frost for ORE review, and submit applications for signature at least one week before the sponsor deadline.
Environment and Animal Welfare (April 13)
Health and Social Development (April 28)

Notes:
No more than 50% of the budget for a project will be funded by the grant, due to funding limitations.
Vancouver Foundation considers both cash contributions and in-kind donations of services or goods for incurred expenses as valid matching funds. In most cases, Vancouver Foundation does not expect to be the sole external funder connected to the project, nor the largest source of funding.
