Hospital for Sick Children Foundation

Paediatric Homecare Research

This program supports research into the under-studied area of paediatric home care. As changes in medical, pharmaceutical, technological and health care structuring increasingly move the site of care away from institutions and into the homes of children, there is a need for research into home and community-based care in Canada. Proposals must address one or more of the following key areas: development and testing of assessment / management tools for home and community-based care; home and community-based care serve delivery models; and policy analyses of home and community-based care. Proposals may be submitted for up to $65,000 for up to two years.

Deadline: May 27

EJLB Foundation

Chair in Neurosciences and Mental Health

The EJLB Foundation, in conjunction with the Canadian Institutes for Health Research and the Royal Society of Canada, is providing a $1,000,000 endowment grant, to allow Canadian universities, or affiliated research institutes, to attract to Canada world-renowned scientists in neurosciences and mental health. The successful candidate will be called upon to spend more than 75 per cent of her/his time on a research project of international significance in neurosciences and mental health and the Chair is to have minimal administrative responsibilities. Each Canadian university, or affiliated research institute, is invited to present a single candidate for the Chair following a nomination process of its choice. The grant also includes a $300,000 establishment grant and $50,000/year in grant support.

Deadline: May 31. (Note: Since each university is permitted to nominate only one candidate, those considering submitting a nomination should contact ORA by April 8.)
