Description:

The Discovery Award is a one-year grant of up to $25,000 for innovative health and biomedical research projects by outstanding new investigators at universities and research institutes in Canada who are within the first three years of their first academic appointment. The intent is to provide seed funding so that applicants are able to gather pilot data to enhance their competitiveness for other sources of funding. We fund at least 6 awards per year. In addition, we partner with other organizations to grant co-funded Discovery Awards. More information on our co-funded Discovery Awards is available below.

Some of our Discovery Awards are co-funded by other organizations. These partnered awards are in addition to our usual 6-7 awards granted each year. In 2021 we are partnering with CANSSI Ontario, Dystonia Medical Research Foundation Canada, MITACS, and the University of Toronto McLaughlin Centre to co-fund research related to biomedical and health science research, data science, dystonia, and genomic medicine, respectively. Please review the guidelines to see if you qualify for one of these co-funded opportunities.
