Funding & Granting
Current Opportunities
We currently have no research or funding opportunities available.
Commissioned Research
Commissioned research makes up most of the research CHSRF is now undertaking. This program responds quickly to the short (six- to 24-month) and mid-term (two to five years) research and synthesis needs of decision-makers. Commissioned work is developed and funded by CHSRF, sometimes in partnership with interested decision-makers.

The result is a unique funding model that goes beyond traditional research funding to promote high-potential-impact research, high-quality capacity-building initiatives, and effective dissemination and implementation of results.
