Dr. R. K. Dewar Medical Research Grant Fund
How to Apply:
Please note that the Thunder Bay Community Foundation (TBCF) call for proposals is now open for its various funding opportunities.
The TBCF offers one specific research grant: the Dr. R. K. Dewar Medical Research Grant Fund. As a research grant, applicants applying to this opportunity would have their application reviewed by the Office of Research Services. Organizations can only apply for one grant per fund per year. If you are interested in applying to the R.K. Dewar Research Grant, please contact the Office of Research Services (sshrc.research@lakeheadu.ca) by September 1, 2026.

The Dr. R. K. Dewar Medical Research Grant was established in 1987 by Ms. Helen Dewar to honour the life and work of her brother, Dr. Robert Kerr Dewar. Dr. Dewar had faith in the future and progress of medical science and had a keen interest in cutting edge research of his day. He was particularly interested in Neuro-Regeneration and Molecular Biology.
The TBCF also has other programs (please see the following document); however, these programs are not research-related and any applications would be submitted through University Advancement. If you are interested in applying to any of the TBCF's other funding opportunities (besides the R.K. Dewar Medical Research Grant) please contact Nicole Westlund Stewart (sshrc.research@lakeheadu.ca) as soon as possible to indicate your interest in a particular TBCF program. The ORS will confirm with University Advancement that the University is not already submitting an application to the same TBCF program. In such a case, the University Advancement submission could take precedence.
If you have any questions, please contact Nicole Westlund Stewart at sshrc.research@lakeheadu.ca.
