QEII Foundation launches Health Equity Fund: Expressions of interest for grants are now being accepted

The QEII Foundation launched the Health Equity Fund  – a Canadian first – to activate intentional solutions that will deliver more equitable health care. Expressions of interest for grants are now being accepted at QEII Foundation’s Health Equity Fund for projects under two award categories, the research stream and the innovation stream.

  • The research stream is for projects that will contribute to advancing knowledge and understanding of health equity, including initiatives focused on rigorous research, data collection, and analysis to equitable health care access and outcomes.
  • The innovation stream is for projects that involve creative and practical solutions aimed at improving health equity. These projects involve implementing or developing programs, tools, technologies, or approaches that directly address disparities and promote inclusive healthcare practices.   

Applications for the QEII Foundation’s Health Equity Fund will be reviewed by a Community Advisory Board comprised of individuals representing equity-deserving communities and those with demonstrated key expertise.
