Funding opportunities for McCaig Institute members
The McCaig Institute for Bone and Joint Health offers the following competitive funding opportunities for institute members:
SPARC Ignite Grants
SPARC Ignite grants are a unique platform for supporting collaboration between clinicians and scientists - fueling innovations that address real-world challenges in bone and joint health. By engaging in focused discussions, participants form interdisciplinary teams that work together on novel research proposals, competing for seed funding. Teams must consist of a minimum of two individuals: one scientist and one clinician, with at least one member from the McCaig Institute. The proposed research activity must focus on bone and joint health. Successful teams will be awarded $20,000.

We are accepting applications for the Distinguished Speaker Series on an ongoing basis. The series promotes higher learning and collaboration at the McCaig Institute. Proposed speakers should be national and international leaders in bone, joint and muscle health research. Up to four speakers per academic calendar year funded, with a maximum travel/event budget of $3,000 CDN per visit.
