TRANSFORM HF’s Seed Grant Competition is now open, and it’s bigger and better than ever!
These grants are meant to encourage, foster, and support members of our community working collaboratively on research and project proposals that align with our initiative’s goals and approaches.
TRANSFORM HF aims to build, support, and seed fund a community of engineers, scientists and clinicians who will work in tandem with Indigenous health experts and patients to develop point-of-care diagnostics, wearables, and AI technologies to monitor and proactively treat people with heart failure in their homes – and empower them to be more active in their own care.
For the first time, one $70,000 grant is available, renewable for a second year upon successful completion of Y1 deliverables. That’s a total value of up to $140,000 over two years.
Applicants must align their proposals with one of the below themes:
- Field-ready point-of-care diagnostics
- Wearables and embedded sensors / remote monitoring
- Data science innovation in heart failure prevention, treatment, or care
- Digital health implementation
Teams led by one co-PI from within U of T/TAHSN and one co-PI from outside U of T/TAHSN are encouraged to apply by Monday, December 18th!
