HALIFAX:<\/strong> Nova Scotia Health is awarding more than $962,000 to 19 researchers through its research fund to study chronic disease management, aging and continuing care, mental health and addictions, and populations with vulnerabilities. \u00a0
The Nova Scotia Health Research Fund provides new researchers and students with access to their first project funding, and for more experienced researchers, access to seed funding for small projects to test new ideas and build toward larger grant proposals with national funders. \u00a0
\u201cOur research fund supports original research at Nova Scotia Health, building capacity among younger researchers at the beginning of their career, as well as helping to stimulate new opportunities among more senior researchers and affiliate scientists,\u201d said Dr. Gail Tomblin Murphy, VP of Research, Innovation and Discovery, and Chief Nurse Executive, Nova Scotia Health. \u201cThis investment in local researchers and their studies is grounded in knowledge translation, where the learnings from their research will inform policy and practise in health care over time.\u201d \u00a0

Last November, Nova Scotia Health\u2019s Research, Innovation, and Discovery team accepted applications for the research fund that were focused on four priority areas:
Aging and continuing care Chronic disease management Mental health and addictions, and Populations with vulnerabilities. \u00a0 These focus areas align with overall priority areas of Nova Scotia Health. Compared to previous years for the research fund, the number of applicants to the most recent funding competition more than doubled. \u00a0
\u201cThere was an unprecedented level of interest displayed by our research community to the funding competition last fall,\u201d said Dr. Jordan Warford, senior director of research, Nova Scotia Health. \u201cAs a result, we were able to increase the level of funding, and are very pleased to be able to provide upwards of $1-million in grants across the funding categories to support these researchers.\u201d \u00a0

Nova Scotia Health\u2019s Research Fund has four categories: Category 1 \u2013 $100,000 for experienced researchers Category 2 \u2013 $100,000 for early career researchers Category 3 \u2013 $50,000 for all researchers Category 4 \u2013 $10,000 for research students and trainees \u00a0
\u201cWe are thankful for the more than 30 researchers who volunteered their time to review the grant applications across the four categories and provided valuable feedback to all the applicants,\u201d said Dr. Kim Good, affiliate scientist with Nova Scotia Health and co-chair of the research fund committee. \u201cThese grants, and the feedback provided, often help to successfully position our local researchers in national competitions that lead to new partnerships, publications, and presentations that ultimately benefit the health of Nova Scotians.\u201d
