The goal of EPID@Work's seed grant program is to attract new and established scholars to conduct research addressing EPID@Work's mandate.

Applicants and applications for projects located in Northwestern Ontario (Manitouwadge and west) will be prioritized.

One call for applications will usually be made each year in the early spring.

The funds requested can range from $5,000 to a maximum of $20,000 per project. The project (including spending of funds) must be completed within one year of receiving funds.

Since 2006 the Centre for Applied Health Research has hosted what has become the premier annual venue for the dissemination of research relevant to the health of Northwester Ontarians. Each year healthcare professionals, students and scientists are brought together to discuss health research through oral and poster presentations. The Showcase draws a broad audience who come to hear about work that is being done in our community.
