HEAL Innovation Fund

HEAL Innovation Fund 2024

The HEAL Innovation Fund (HIF) is a competitive funding program ($1 million over four years) established to assist the implementation of research priorities of the HEAL research themes and communities of practice to develop solution-focused projects focusing on climate, environment and health priorities. The HIF aims to support research with engagement that includes community and stakeholder co-design and has the potential to lead to further external funding. As a guide, the HEAL Innovation Fund is targeted to support larger projects $20,000 – $50,000 each and smaller projects of up to $20,000 each, for a period of 12 months.
