* Unless explicitly noted, all times indicated for deadlines are for the appropriate NL timezone (NST or NDT)

Who it's for: This funding supports small-budget proposals for research projects in the history of healthcare and allied disciplines, such as science and technology studies, sociology, anthropology, and classics. Your project must strive to advance the history of health, healthcare and disease, or the education of health professionals. We’re partial to projects that consider the Canadian context, and these may include requests for seed money to develop research initiatives. Your work should benefit the broader community of practitioners in the field. Successful applicants must produce one or more conference papers or publications/presentations within a year of this grant’s completion. You may submit more than one application, as long as it’s for a unique (though potentially related) project.

Amount Available: Up to Seven (7) AMS History of Healthcare Project Grants per year of up to $20,000 per grant. The duration of awards is for one year.

Key application requirements:

• The PI’s CV

• A summary, list of objectives, a project description, and a work plan

• A budget and justification

• Quotes and estimates

• A bibliography

In addition to the external funding agency’s submission procedures, this opportunity must also be submitted for Departmental, HSS Faculty, and Research Initiatives and Services (RIS) institutional reviews and approvals via Memorial's Researcher Portal (RP). In order to facilitate the HSS Faculty’s administrative review, please ensure "Heather C. O'Brien (Grants Facilitator)" and “Matthew Milner (Grants Facilitator)” are added as "Team Members" on your RP file. 

In accordance with University-wide approval protocols, all tabs of the RP file must be completed, the completed application must be uploaded to the “Attachments” tab, all supporting documentation including support for cash and in-kind commitments and/or letters of support must also be uploaded, and “Submit” must be pressed prior to the HSS internal deadline listed below. HSS cannot guarantee completion of an administrative review for application files that are incomplete and/or are submitted after the HSS deadline. For more detailed submission instructions and information, please consult the HSS Research Support Services website.

If you plan to apply to this competition or other research funding opportunities (as either PI or CI), e-mail an HSS Grants Facilitator, Heather C. O’Brien (HSSResearchAdmin@mun.ca or 864-8603) or Matthew Milner (HSSResearchGrants@mun.ca or 864-8050), to notify the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of your intent to apply. E-mailing the intent to apply as early as possible will help to facilitate an efficient review. A Grants Facilitator can answer any questions you may have about internal or external submission procedures and may also be able to help with proposal development.
