Innovation Fund
The Innovation Fund Seed Grants for 2024/25 are closed.
The full application deadline was January 30, 2025.

Note: While projects must involve at least 2 of the Centre’s 3 partners – SickKids, University Health Network, University of Toronto – any collaborators worldwide may be co-applicants.
