Request for Proposals: SHRF Mobilize Grants (Canada)

SHRF’s mandate is to encourage and fund health research with the goal of improving the health and healthcare of Saskatchewan people. They work to align research with the needs of the province and to increase investments in quality research that leads to healthier communities. They acknowledge that community health is impacted by intersecting social, economic and historical factors. Supporting the health outcomes of Indigenous communities is integral to the success of this work.

The Mobilize Grant aims to increase the sharing of knowledge in ways that are easily accessible and useful for a range of audiences to inform decisions about health practices, programs and policies. Addressing the TRC Calls to Action, and in the spirit of the commission to reconcile Indigenous and nonindigenous Peoples and perspectives, this funding supports knowledge sharing and collaboration activities for healthy and connected communities in Saskatchewan.
