Research funding opportunities

The Atlas Institute for Veterans and Families is introducing new research funding opportunities in three critical areas, designed to enhance understanding and support the mental health and well-being of Veterans and their Families.

This initiative aligns with our continuing commitment to expand knowledge and boost research capabilities in the field of mental health by working directly with the community to identify areas of particular interest and opportunity.

The funding program, led by the Research Partnerships team, contributes to a key objective of the organizational strategic plan, which involves building trusted relationships and fostering collaborations with researchers, as well as Veteran and Family groups across Canada. The goal is to consistently explore and advance research questions related to health and well-being, rethinking trauma and traumatic stress, while incorporating the experiences of minorities within military and Veteran communities.

Our aim is to provide equitable, transparent and competitive funding opportunities while expanding our understanding of the diverse topics related to the mental health and well-being of Veterans and their Families. This program of funding underscores our commitment to encouraging innovation and collaboration within the research community.

Applicants seeking funding through the program will need to demonstrate how their project aligns with the Atlas Institute’s overarching mission. Applicants are also encouraged to consider the topic area broadly and should not be discouraged from applying if their proposed research does not align precisely with the areas of inquiry outlined above. Priority will be given to proposals that clearly demonstrate a need grounded in the experiences, priorities, or knowledge of the Veteran and Family community and make a strong case for how the proposed research will address that need.

For more information and inquiries about the funding program, contact the Research Partnerships team at research@atlasinstitute.ca.
