Research Grant & External Funding
The SHA administers research funding (awarded to SHA affiliated researchers) from organizations that have a current memorandum of understanding with the SHA, such as:
- Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR);
- Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation (SHRF);
- Royal University Hospital Foundation (RUHF);
- Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation (JPCHF); and

SHA Contract and Funding Specialists provide support to practitioner staff, staff, and learners seeking research funding. Services include assistance with proposal development, interpretation of granting agency guidelines, review of application content, and recommendations to improve clarity, organization and competitiveness.

Funding applications that will be administered through the SHA must be submitted to the Contract and Funding Specialists for institutional review prior to submission.
