Advancing Socio-Economic Research for Evidence-Informed Public Health Decision-Making

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), in partnership with SSHRC, has launched the new Partnership Engage Grants joint initiative, entitled “Advancing Socio-Economic Research for Evidence-Informed Public Health Decision-Making", to identify and advance socio-economic research for evidence-based public health decision-making on selected public health priority topics in Canada.  

The joint initiative provides short-term and timely support for partnered research activities that will inform public health decision-making and are grouped under 6 broad categories with specific research themes in each category. Applicants are required to apply to 1 of the 12 specific themes. 

The Partnership Engage Grants funded through this joint initiative will be valued at $7000 to $25,000 for 1 year, and PHAC aims to fund up to 12 grants. SSHRC will administer the funding opportunity and will work with PHAC to promote the funding opportunity to researchers in all fields.
