CHILDREN’S MENTAL HEALTH GRANT 2022

 

CHILDREN’S MENTAL HEALTH GRANT 2022

The Children’s Health Research Institute (CHRI) is pleased to announce the CHILDREN’S MENTAL HEALTH GRANT Competition for 2022 with funds generously provided by the Children’s Health Foundation (CHF). All CHRI Scientists and Associate Scientists conducting children’s mental health research are eligible to apply for this Award. Up to three awards of $50,000 - $100,000 each for one year are available.

GUIDELINES

The following guidelines are designed to facilitate the submission of applications for the award. A successful proposal will include (most, if not all) of the following research outcomes:

  • Generation of new data that will allow CHRI Scientists and Associate Scientists to be successful in determining impact of mental health in children.
  • High potential for impacting diagnosis, therapy, or delivery of healthcare to children.
  • Potential to attract donors to CHF fund raising efforts.

Project submissions will be ranked based on the demonstration of (1) impact of research on mental health in children, (2) new and innovative research, (3) ability of the application to involve collaboration across disciplines and (4) potential to leverage these funds to secure future extramural research funds (e.g., NSERC, SSHRC, CIHR).
