The expected outputs of this grant are, but not limited to, initial interviews with study participants, feasibility studies, needs assessments or secondary research. Outputs are intended to demonstrate the capacity and capability of the research team through tangible research outcomes that will help support an organizations decision to invest into a larger more complex research collaboration.

If you are in the early stages of establishing a research partnership with an external organization this opportunity may be for you.
