Updated: Nov 5

Research leads to better health care, healthier communities and brighter futures. As a small but mighty province, the Saskatchewan research community is uniquely positioned to respond to local health challenges with some of the most advanced health research technologies, infrastructure and expertise.


Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation (SHRF) is excited to announce $80,000 in funding dedicated to knowledge mobilization in Saskatchewan via the SHRF 2024-25 Mobilize Grant, Call 1. 


The Mobilize Grant aims to fund projects with the goal of connecting people in Saskatchewan to health research and evidence they can use. This grant strives to increase research relevance, usability, and uptake by sharing and mobilizing knowledge in accessible and meaningful ways. The Mobilize Grant provides successful applicants up to $10,000 over a one-year term.


This round of recipients features 8 projects working with a variety of community organizations, healthcare providers and patients to address a wide variety of topics, including Multiple Sclerosis care, healthcare worker burnout, and health resources for women and youth.
