NOTE THAT IMPORTANT CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE 2013 COMPETITION

The WCHRI Innovation Grants competition is focused on studies that will lead to improved health outcomes for women and/or children. The 2013 competition will have 2 streams: 1) Project Grants and 2) Patient/Community Health Grants. Separate committees will assess each stream. The competition will provide a maximum of $50,000 operating funds to be spent over 24 months.

1. Project grants are stand-alone projects that may also provide preliminary data for future applications to provincial and/or national agencies.
2. Patient/Community Health Grants are focused on projects working directly with patients and/or clients in the community.
