Strategic Investment Fund: Call for proposals

A message from Mieke Koehoorn, Dean pro tem, Faculty of Medicine.


I am pleased to announce that the Faculty of Medicine is now accepting Strategic Investment Fund (SIF) proposals for 2025.

Since the fund was established in 2017, the Faculty has invested more than $13M in 123 projects that align with and advance our strategic plan. Together, these projects have mobilized resources, expertise and enthusiasm across the Faculty of Medicine, driving meaningful change and helping to make a positive impact across disciplines, within communities throughout the province.

As we look ahead to the final year of our current strategic plan in 2026, I welcome you to share your creative project ideas and submit proposals that will help realize our ongoing commitments and move the Faculty’s goals and strategies forward. You can learn more about previously funded projects on the strategic plan website.

The deadline for submitting proposals is Monday, October 27, 2025. More information about applications and eligibility is available on the program web page.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to driving innovation and excellence, and advancing our shared vision to transform health for everyone. I look forward to receiving your proposals.
