Funding Opportunity

RSO Internal Deadline: Noon on September 26, 2025
This funding opportunity will support the development of a learning health system (LHS) network in perinatal mental health. The LHS approach integrates research, data, and knowledge for continuous improvement in care to help ensure that the most effective treatments are consistently updated and implemented equitably across Canada. This approach would also enable the rapid translation of research findings into clinical and care practice, providing a mechanism for evaluating program impacts and improving equitable service delivery. Furthermore, this approach would ensure continuous improvement in efficiency and effectiveness of the processes of the LHS. The network is expected to develop an LHS by: (i) collecting and synthesizing data from real-world practice ('practice to data'), (ii) using that data to answer questions and generate new and useful knowledge ('data to knowledge'), and (iii) applying that knowledge to improve care to equitably meet the needs of people with lived/living experience (PWLLE), caregivers/families and communities served ('knowledge to practice'), which includes knowledge mobilization and implementation science.
Three deadlines per year: Feb 1, June 1, Oct 1.
These grants, offered 3 times per year, intend to support well-defined, early-stage research activities and initiatives that will lead to substantial external funding. Valued between $1,000 - $15,000, these grants last for 6 months.
Three deadlines per year: June 1, October 1, February 1.
These Grants promote initiatives that enable UCalgary teams to explore societal questions, challenges and opportunities that demand a transdisciplinary approach.
