For Faculty

Faculty of Nursing Internal Funding Opportunities

Below is a summary of the Faculty of Nursing internal funding opportunities. 

Funds are intended to be utilized in a strategic and transformative manner that aligns with the Faculty of Nursing Strategic Plan 2018-2023.

The purpose of the Faculty of Nursing Research Groups is to develop research capacity in a focused area of cutting-edge research.

Faculty of Nursing Matching Funds

Increasingly, funding agencies expect contributions from other funders or the university in order to award research grants and student awards. The Faculty of Nursing and the University have limited resources for this purpose. Although the Faculty of Nursing may be able to offer some funding or in-kind support, there is no guarantee that resources will be available and there should be no expectation that the request will be supported and funding allocated. Other funders should be considered first (e.g., health care agencies, community groups, Vice President Research).

A maximum of $15,000 will be available to a faculty member within a fiscal year.
