A message from Dermot Kelleher, Dean, Faculty of Medicine and Vice-President, Health.
I am pleased to announce the recipients of the 2024 Strategic Investment Fund (SIF) competition, which garnered a strong and competitive set of 25 proposals from the Faculty of Medicine community.
A total of $1.27 million has been invested to fund six projects based on the recommendations from the SIF Review Panel. Notably, two of the six funded projects directly align with Indigenous-focused objectives, helping advance the Faculty’s commitments to reconciliation, decolonization and Indigenization.
I want to express my sincere thanks to all of those who submitted a proposal to the SIF competition, and extend my warm congratulations to the successful applicants. I wish them every success as they bring their impactful initiatives to life.
Since the Faculty of Medicine’s SIF was established in 2017, more than more than $13M has been invested in 123 projects helping to advance the goals of the Faculty’s strategic plan, Building the Future: 2021–2026. These efforts are key to driving meaningful change and helping to make a positive impact as we work together to transform health for everyone.
An announcement of the 2025 SIF call for proposals is anticipated in spring 2025.
This message was sent to all faculty and staff in the Faculty of Medicine.
