Scotia Support Grant

This is the pilot year for the Scotia Support Grant. The competitive, peer reviewed funding opportunity will run every two years and is open to researchers/supervisors. The purpose of the Scotia Support Grant is to:

• Support additional training opportunities within vibrant and productive research programs;
• Enable funded researchers/supervisors to recruit the level and number of research trainees needed to enhance their programs of research;
• Provide flexibility for all levels of academic trainees to be engaged within Nova Scotia based research programs that are generating knowledge relevant to the NSHRF health research priority areas; and
• Contribute to the sustainability of local research programs that have the potential to impact and improve the health of Nova Scotians, while also training tomorrow’s health researchers. 

Further information and eligibility criteria can be found in the 2011-12 NSHRF Scotia Support Grant Requirements Document (PDF Document). Applicants must read the requirements document in full, paying particular attention to the Electronic Grants Management System (EGMS) section before registering and submitting applications.

Please note, that both the registration and application deadlines have passed.
