About this program

The Alberta Medical Foundation Charitable Fund awards Project Grants of up to $10,000 to qualified scholars to support original research and public-facing projects (books, publications, documentary films, programmatic activities) that document and promote the history of medicine and health care in Alberta; approved funds are disbursed October 1 annually. Applications are due May 15 each year and must be submitted electronically to Ali Taliani using the provided PDF template without altering margins or fonts; required materials include a signed application, a two‑page CV, a project description and methods with timeline and ethics plan (funds withheld until ethics approval is provided if required), a detailed budget, and outcomes/dissemination plans, with total application sections limited to six pages (CV excluded) and a one‑page progress report due within one year after the funding period ends. Eligible applicants are Alberta residents who are health‑care professionals (active or retired, in good standing), hold a research appointment at a recognized publicly funded Alberta post‑secondary institution, or occupy a research/archivist role in a health‑care agency or an Alberta Museums Association–recognized museum; awards are non‑renewable and recipients must acknowledge the Foundation in any resulting publications and may not reapply for a different project for two years.
