Supporting impactful community research grants and awards

MHRC is committed to advancing mental health through co-funding research that has the potential for deep and broad impact in the lives of Canadians, and that bridges the gap between research and practice.

Our grants and research awards are designed to seed-fund research projects led by experienced academic researchers and community researchers/service providers collaborating to address gaps in community mental health and addressing community needs, while integrating the insights of people with lived experience into each stage of their project.
