We recognize other topics are important to you, and we will always accept applications for topics outside of the ones listed, as long as the project fits into the parameters of our funding agreements. If you have questions or are not sure if your project aligns with one of the topics or our funding agreements, please reach out to us at members@codivision.ca.

Will the grant cover ongoing costs associated with the projects?

No. The grant will cover the clinic’s initial project costs, and it is the clinic’s responsibility to pay for any ongoing costs beyond the initial project.

If my project does not fit within the scope of clinic grants, where can I find alternative means of funding?

FPSC offers funding for clinics to perform panel management and to implement Health Data Coalition’s EMR data portal.

Can multiple clinics partner on a project?

Yes. Multiple Clinics or physicians from separate clinics may work together on a joint project that positively benefits all involved. Grant amounts will be awarded based on the number of physicians involved in the project, up to $7,500 per project.Only one person should submit the grant request on behalf of all clinics or physicians involved.

Can multiple physicians in a clinic submit different grant applications?

Yes. Multiple physicians from the same clinic can submit different grant applications, provided each physician participates in only one application per year. Applications can be submitted on behalf of an individual physician or a group of physicians within a clinic. If a group is applying together, one physician should serve as the lead applicant on behalf of the group. A single application may also include multiple ideas that support Patient Medical Homes and Primary Care Networks.
