Education Fund

The Education Fund Grants for 2025/26 are open.
The full application deadline is March 31, 2025.

The Ted Rogers Centre Education Fund is designed to foster world-class talent among trainees and clinical research fellows, to drive projects that target the causes and progression of heart failure, and to accelerate innovation.

These annual awards are unique opportunities for researchers to pursue or validate novel ideas that have high translation and commercialization potential. Projects must align with our Centre’s overall mission and involve collaboration of at least 2 of our partners: SickKids, University Health Network and University of Toronto.
