SMB ‘Plus’ Program

Rolling intake deadlines: last Friday in May, September and January

The ‘Plus’ Program is a new program introduced by ACHRI alongside the existing Startup-Match-Bridge Program, which is designed to expand funding opportunities for CHW researchers and support continued research excellence. The ‘Plus’ Program includes three new streams of funding support available to ACHRI members in good standing. This program was created to address gaps in the current UCalgary and external funding landscape that have been identified by Child Health and Wellness Researchers in recent years.

Applications to ‘Plus’ funding opportunities will be accepted on a rolling basis and evaluated three times per year.
