The annual 2024-25 Establishment Grant competition is underway, with applicants who passed eligibility submitting their full applications to SHRF by March 14. The Establishment Grant supports early career researchers and is a key SHRF investment in supporting capacity for impactful health research in Saskatchewan and increasing success at obtaining future funding.

CONNECTIONS

In the Connections Program, we will continue with the Align Grant and Mobilize Grant funding opportunities to improve research collaboration and coordination, responsiveness, and usability.


The Align Grant supports activities to ensure research is relevant and responsive to Saskatchewan and stakeholder needs and build collaborative teams well-positioned to succeed in future research funding competitions. The first call of the Align Grant is now open, and there will be a total of three intakes throughout the year. Details are now available in the Application Package at shrf.ca/align


The Mobilize Grant funds knowledge-mobilization activities in non-academic formats to improve the applicability and impact of health research in Saskatchewan. The Mobilize Grant will have two open calls and a third focusing on the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action. Watch for details on the first open Mobilize call coming in April, which will be available at shrf.ca/mobilize


 

SOLUTIONS

While the Solutions Program 2023-24 peer review is underway, we are already planning for next year! The 2024-25 Solutions Program will once again offer Innovation and Impact grants to support interdisciplinary teams in finding, testing, and implementing solutions related to specific focus areas. Timelines for the Solutions Program will remain the same, with the program officially launching in June, eligibility cut-off at the end of September and full applications due mid-November.


SHRF will continue its focus in two areas for the 2024-25 Solutions competition:

1) Child & Youth Health, in collaboration with Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation, and 2) Rural & Remote Health.


The Solutions Program is a key opportunity for SHRF to collaborate with research funding partners to pool our resources, streamline workload for everyone involved, and advance strategic areas of need in the province. For 2024-25, we are pleased to continue our collaboration with Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation to support Child & Youth Health, and to continue strategic partnerships with Lung Saskatchewan to invest in Lung Health research, and Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan to invest in dementia research.


SHRF remains committed to supporting patient-oriented research and continues our partnership with SCPOR to support select grants.
