Deadlines

Overview

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support youth-engaged research teams to generate evidence for at least two of the six priorities of Canada’s Youth Policy, with the ultimate goal of improving youth health and well-being. The six priority areas are: (i) Leadership and Impact, (ii) Health and Wellness, (iii) Innovation, Skills and Learning, (iv) Employment, (v) Truth and Reconciliation, and (vi) Environment and Climate Action.

This funding opportunity is a direct response to calls for Canada to do better when it comes to youth health and wellness, particularly with historically excluded or underrepresented youth, and to put diverse youth and youth voices at the centre of multi-dimensional solutions to youth-identified priorities.

Value and Duration

The total amount available for this funding opportunity is $10,500,000, enough to fund approximately seven grants. This amount may increase if additional funding partners participate. The maximum amount per grant is $300,000 per year for up to five years, for a total of $1,500,000 per grant.
