Grant to our community:
Health and Medical Education/Research
Introduction
Vancouver Foundation funds health and medical research to foster progress on key health and medical issues in the community. We favour community-focused participatory research, which includes projects that involve community members affected by the condition being studied. This way the community has a greater understanding of the issues, and an important stake in the process as well as the solution.
Purpose
Health and Medical Education/Research grants support initiatives that ensure British Columbians are involved in advancing the health of their own communities. Community-focused research grants allow researchers and not-for-profit organizations to collaboratively undertake relevant research at the community level. Bursaries provided within the post-secondary health and medical fields enable community members (students) to further develop their knowledge and skills with the goal of providing health and medical services to communities throughout BC.
Goals
- Support and increase capacity for community-focused research across BC by working in partnership with both community-based and institutional researchers to enhance the health and well-being of British Columbians.
- Support the post-secondary and continuing education of students and professionals in BC in the health and medical fields, particularly those facing significant barriers to participation.
