New Solutions-Targeted Accelerator for Research Teams (START) Award Results

Updated: Sep 16

The first START Award competition was launched in May 2021 to support team development activities for the development of applications to the Solutions Program - Addictions focus. The primary objective of START is to support meaningful engagement activities with knowledge users, stakeholders, and persons with lived and living experience in order to build research teams and co-develop research questions and approaches with collaboration outside the academic community.


Teams were required to be co-led by an academic and a non-academic co-principal applicant.


This summer, we supported 9 teams with a total investment of $41,535.80. Teams are now working towards the Solutions Program application deadline on December 7, 2021. Solutions Program funding will be announced in March 2022.
