Funding Value and Duration

Grants are usually within the $25,000 to $80,000 range for 1-2 years.

Overview

Grants are made to assist biomedical scientists of various departments and faculties in Ontario universities, hospitals and scientific institutions concerned with medical research. These grants may be distributed among medical research institutes and universities in Ontario.

The online application may be submitted from any medically oriented university faculty. These may be within the health sciences department of a university, or any faculty of that university.

Medical institutes within a university or hospital must be approved to apply independently; otherwise they must apply through the university or hospital research office. Independent research institutes may apply directly.

Eligibility Criteria

The Foundation will use the following criteria in assessing applications:

  1. Projects must have scientific merit and be primarily medical in nature.

  6. Grants are usually within the $25,000 to $80,000 range.
