Joule boosts funding to further innovation support

February 19, 2020


Deborah Scott-Douglas 2OTTAWA – Joule boosted its annual Innovation grant offering to $500,000 to mark the program’s fifth anniversary. The program supports physicians, residents and medical students developing or advancing initiatives that provide direct, positive impacts to patients and physicians. This year’s grant categories have also been expanded to support the CMA’s two priority areas – access to care and physician health and wellness.

“This program is dedicated to helping shape a better healthcare future for all Canadians – one that benefits patients, healthcare providers and the broader healthcare system,” said Deborah Scott-Douglas (pictured), Joule president. “We’re excited to be able to provide a bigger funding envelope to accelerate innovative projects led by incredible physicians and medical learners across the country.”

Overall, nine grants will be available in five categories:

  • Physician health and wellness: Initiatives that aim to promote health and wellness among physicians and medical learners.
  • Access to care: Initiatives that focus on innovative solutions that improve access to healthcare for all Canadians – address marginalized, rural and/or remote populations – while keeping in mind the patient experience.
  • Sustainable healthcare: Initiatives that address the impact of climate change on the health and well-being of Canadians.
  • Healthcare solutions: Initiatives aimed at enhancing the quality, safety and efficiency of healthcare and improving health outcomes for patients – while reducing overall costs within the Canadian healthcare system.
  • Emerging physician innovators: These grants support the innovations of medical students and residents who are improving healthcare in Canada. Initiatives must be aligned to one of the four primary grant categories: physician health and wellness, access to care, sustainable healthcare or healthcare solutions.

Since inception, the program has received 744 applications and has distributed a total of $700,000 in funding to 27 initiatives across Canada. Applications for the 2020 grants will close at midnight on March 24. CMA members are invited to apply by submitting a 90-second video.
