Funded Research Projects
MHRC is committed to advancing or co-funding research that has the potential for deep and broad impact in the lives of Canadians, and that bridges the gap between research and practice.
We achieve this by partnering with like-minded organizations and funding promising research across the country through each of our three funding streams:
Grants ($50,000- $100,000): Our grants are awarded to teams of established academics, service providers and people with lived experience who are undertaking innovative research work over a 1-1.5 year period.
Studentships ($15,000): Our studentships are designed to support student researchers enrolled in either a Masters, PhD, or post-graduate College program to conduct 4-6 month research projects under the co-supervision of an academic supervisor and a community partner.
Fellowships ($60,000): The newest addition to our line-up, our one-year fellowships are awarded to early career researchers who have recently completed their PhDs to undertake a year-long project under the co-supervision of an academic supervisor and a community partner.
