Community Partnership Grants
The nātawihowin and mamawiikikayaahk Research Networks (SK-NEIHR) has established Community Partnership Grants—seed funding meant to support researchers and community stakeholders, to develop grant 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.
Funding calls occur in the spring and fall annually.
