Vancouver Foundation Participatory Action Research Grants

Applications are open for Participatory Action Research Grants (PAR) until February 7 at 11:59 PM (PT).

PAR grants fund projects that question and investigate the root causes of complex community health issues. Within this broad context, we’re also interested in receiving proposals that investigate the root causes of racism and other discriminatory behaviours and beliefs experienced by adults and children within health systems.

Download the Granting Guidelines and the 2022 Addendum for more information, including how we’ve updated the application form to make it easier to apply.
