Community Partnership Support Funds: up to $10,000 of seed funding to support researchers and community stakeholders to develop funding applications to the Tri-Councils and other major research funders, on Indigenous health research. These are planning and development funds, intended to support research proposal development, not funding to undertake research projects.

Knowledge Translation Support Funds: up to $10,000 for researchers and community partners to create knowledge translation products and materials to share findings from Indigenous health research projects in Saskatchewan.

These support funds are now available on a continual basis. Applications are peer reviewed. To apply, please send an application to skneihr@usask.ca
