Partnerships with Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Nova Scotia COVID-19 Health Research Coalition, Genome Atlantic, and others, have enabled our researchers to conduct ground-breaking research in the areas of vaccines and therapeutics, diagnostics, epidemiology, fundamental science, social and behavioural sciences, public health, and more.
health research grants
FUNDED PROJECTS
Health Research Grants contribute to healthy people and health care systems for Nova Scotians by generating evidence, outcomes and/or knowledge in support of one of our four missions. Grants include opportunities identified by the researchers and their post-secondary institutions, as well as capacity-building initiatives such as early-career research grants or partnership funding.
MATCH FUNDING
FUNDED PROJECTS
Research Nova Scotia accepts applications for match funding for projects selected by the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and Genome Canada (GC).

Testimonials
“Together we are working to develop a wastewater surveillance program on a provincial scale that will provide early and accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2, which could ultimately enable proactive and preventative COVID-19 health and economic response measures.”
Dr. Graham Gagnon, Dalhousie University
“My goal is to improve sustainable production. What that breaks down to meaning is that we can continually produce seafood, a great nutritional source for us, without taking advantage of or depleting resources.”
