SPOR Evidence Alliance Seed Grant

The SPOR Evidence Alliance Seed Grant aims to encourage a culture of learning, innovation, and advancement of science in the areas of knowledge synthesis, guideline development, knowledge translation, and patient-oriented research by funding methods projects at the conceptual stage.

Only projects studying methodological advancements of guideline development in a patient-oriented research setting will be considered; guideline projects themselves are not eligible for inclusion. Successful projects must have a strong focus on patient-oriented research.

Eligibility

Applicants wishing to apply for the seed grant must be:

  • a doctoral student, post-doctoral fellow or an early career investigator (i.e., full-time, independent researcher for a period of 0 to 5 years) at a Canadian institution, and
  • a member of the Alliance (prospective applicants are required to complete member registration prior to applying)

Funding for two Seed Grants valued at $10,000 each is available for the 2021 competition.
