The REISS Competition, based on effective linkage and exchange, features several exciting components. The foundation is committed to funding four programs per year (one per theme), with a maximum contribution to each of $500,000 over four years. The funded programs will span four years and will include components in research, capacity development, and knowledge exchange, as well as periodic deliverables over the course of the program.
Developed in consultation with researchers, decision makers, and funders across Canada, the REISS competition combines elements known to fuel collaborative, evidence-based support for the organization, management, and policies of the Canadian healthcare system. The result is a unique funding model that goes beyond traditional research funding to promote high-potential-impact research, high-quality capacity-building initiatives, and effective dissemination and implementation of results.
