Research leads to better health care, healthier communities and brighter futures. As a small but mighty province, the Saskatchewan research community is uniquely positioned to respond to local health challenges with some of the most advanced health research technologies, infrastructure and expertise.
Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation (SHRF) is excited to announce $80,000 in funding dedicated to knowledge mobilization in Saskatchewan via the SHRF 2024-25 Mobilize Grant, Call 1.
