Solutions Program
Collaborative research addressing Saskatchewan's health challenges
About Solutions
SHRF's Solutions Program brings together diverse expertise and perspectives from across the province to address pressing health challenges and advance innovative solutions that generate lasting impact for a stronger, healthier Saskatchewan.
Each year, SHRF works closely with its partners to offer funding in select focus areas. Interdisciplinary teams, including knowledge users, propose rigorous research projects addressing real-world needs relevant to one or more focus areas.
Applications are evaluated by interdisciplinary comittees across Canada based on:
Relevance and Impact
Methods and Feasibility
Knowledge Mobilization and Potential for Sustainability
Funding is awarded to the highest-rated projects within each focus area.
Solutions Focus Areas
Solutions funding is offered through focus areas that address important health challenges and opportunities in Saskatchewan.
Focus areas are developed in collaboration with SHRF's funding partners and may change from year to year.
