Funding Value and Duration

For the 2024 Research Collaboration Program, Diabetes Canada will be awarding a total $100,000. Applicants can request between $3,000 and $20,000. The applications will be reviewed and awarded quarterly, and it may be that funds are allocated before the last review meeting of the year, depending on the number of grants submitted and approved. It is recommended to apply early where possible as funds will not be held back if strong applications are received. Applications can be submitted up to one-year in advance of the event.

Overview

Diabetes Canada is committed to supporting research that contributes to its vision of “creating a world free of the effects of diabetes” in two interconnected ways:

1. By advancing knowledge and solutions that address the issues and challenges identified by the diabetes community in Canada; and
2. By strengthening capacity to conduct relevant and impactful diabetes research in Canada.

Diabetes Canada is implementing a combination of programs that include funding research and supporting collaboration among researchers, and between researchers and the broader diabetes stakeholder community. This funding initiative is aimed at supporting researcher-led research collaboration activities. These activities could include: meetings, webinars, networking events, lecture series, or training sessions that are led by a Principle Applicant at an eligible institution.
