Solutions Program

Collaborative research addressing Saskatchewan's health challenges

About Solutions

The Solutions Program aims to mobilize the research ecosystem to focus on and coordinate diverse skills and perspectives to address Saskatchewan's health challenges. This is achieved by providing peer reviewed, competitive funding to support direct research costs for interdisciplinary teams, including knowledge users, conducting projects with measurable impact in focused areas.

Solutions Focus Areas

SHRF's Solutions Program supports interdisciplinary teams of researchers working with knowledge users to address timely health needs in Saskatchewan and promote sustainable impact.
 

Whether it's through tackling complex problems with creative new approaches or studying the implementation of promising practices and interventions — the focus is on solutions for better health and healthcare.

​

SHRF selects Focus Areas that evolve year-to-year through a process that considers capacity, need, stakeholder alignment, partnership opportunities, potential for impact, and additional factors. We will accept applications for the chosen Focus Area in the fall.
