About the CAH Grant and Eligibility Criteria

All University of Regina full-time faculty members in term (of two years or more), probationary, or continuing appointments are eligible for these awards. Only one application may be made per competition. The adjudication committee will not entertain applications in any two consecutive years from the same individual.

These awards are intended to fund pilot projects or other work aimed to lead to the preparation of a major (i.e. >$50,000) national or provincial application in the area of health and aging. These awards may be used for all legitimate research expenses, including (but not limited to) research travel, research assistants, supplies, equipment (including computing equipment), telephone, fax and photocopying costs. The funds may also be used to subsidize teaching release stipends. It is understood that the timing of the teaching release stipend will be decided between the faculty member and his or her dean or department head. The head/dean signature will signify approval of the request for teaching release.
