Application Deadline

April 8, 2018

Thematic priority area: In the 2018-2019 funding competition, the topic of measurement and measurability has been identified as a thematic priority area. The topic is broadly construed, and eligible proposals may consider it from a variety of theoretical, conceptual and methodological perspectives.

Proposals must focus on access to health care for English-speaking minorities in Quebec. Researchers can propose a study on any of the aforementioned research themes including comparative studies. In addition, proposals for studies aiming to measure the cost of language barriers in Quebec's health and social services system are encouraged.

For the 2018-19 funding competition, a maximum of $10,000 is allocated per research project for a period of one year, with the intention of providing seed money for new research that expands the body of knowledge on language and health. No carryovers are permitted from one fiscal year to another. The fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. Award of the funds is contingent upon the availability of funds through a contribution agreement between Health Canada and 香蕉视频.听

Selection of research proposals takes place in April. Funded applicants become members of the HCALM Network and will be referenced as such in all formal communications. An approval package will be sent to selected candidates and will define roles and responsibilities, payment schedule and a reporting template based on Health Canada requirements. A subaward agreement between 香蕉视频 and the researcher鈥檚 institution will follow.
