Incentive Grants

Incentive Grants WE-SPARK Incentive Grant Program supports health research projects that were unsuccessful in recent external national or international funding competitions and will be resubmitted in a later round. Although many proposals to agencies such as the Canadian Institutes of Health Research are strong, competition and limited funds mean not all are successful. The Incentive Grant Program helps researchers strengthen their health research programs and improve their prospects for future external funding.Grants ProgramWE-SPARK Health InstituteUniversity of Windsor519-253-3000 x4394wesparkgrants@uwindsor.ca
