Applications are now open for the Mobilize Award, a funding opportunity that supports more community-connected health research.
The Mobilize Award supports a range of collaborative knowledge mobilization activities, including:
- Developing knowledge together: research co-production and community-led research for action.
- Connecting and sharing knowledge: knowledge synthesis, knowledge brokering, and end-of-grant knowledge mobilization.
- Advancing Indigenous-led solutions focused on health and wellness research.
- Putting knowledge into use: commercialization, implementation, spreading and sustaining knowledge use, and scaling impact.
Eligible health system staff and BC-based postdoctoral, early career and mid-career researchers may apply. Each application must include a primary applicant, co-lead, and trainee, with the primary applicant and co-lead bringing complementary researcher and research-user perspectives.
Indigenous cultural safety review process
Health Research BC welcomes applications that focus on Indigenous health and wellness. To support cultural safety in the Mobilize Award process, applications proposing work in this area will be considered through an Indigenous cultural safety review.
This will be conducted by a panel of reviewers with lived experience, knowledge, and expertise in Indigenous health research, using the Mobilize Administrative Review Criteria. The review process and criteria were developed in consultation and meaningful partnership with Indigenous collaborators.
