Legacy Research Grant
The aim of the Legacy Research Grant is to provide financial support for health services, health policy and quality improvement projects with the greatest potential to advance health-related applied knowledge to improve the respiratory health and health services of Nova Scotians and Prince Edward Islanders.
​
The focus of the 2024 Legacy Research Grant is to promote innovative research, capacity-building and knowledge translation initiatives designed to improve the way health care services are organized, regulated, managed, financed, paid for, used and delivered, in the interest of improving the health and quality of life of people with respiratory disease.
Applications for projects must pertain to one of the four missions below:
• Mission 1 (Reduce Harm): Advance disease detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention
• Mission 2 (Improve Systems and Resources): Strengthen our health care delivery system
• Mission 3 (Build Resilience): Care for vulnerable populations
• Mission 4 (Innovate for the Future): Promote better opportunities for future health and wellbeing
LungNSPEI is pleased to announce that it is continuing its partnership with Research Nova Scotia to offer up to $70,000 in research grant funds.
