The Claudette Bradshaw FASD Innovation Award recognizes the work of the Honourable Claudette Bradshaw and the many years of service she’s dedicated to the fields of FASD, early education, and homelessness. It is intended for an individual, agency, or organization that has developed an innovative intervention that has made a substantial contribution to the FASD field in one of CanFASD’s member provinces/territories. CanFASD is looking for innovations that focus on transitioning youth with FASD to adult supports; this may include housing, employment, parenting and/or substance use.

The innovative program/project must involve a research or evaluation component in order to demonstrate the effectiveness in improving the lives of individuals with FASD, their families, and communities.

Award recipients will receive a $2000 cash prize, a profile in the CanFASD blog and social media, and, if desired, assistance in preparing a manuscript for publication. Award recipients may be asked to present their innovation at a CanFASD supported conference or online presentation.
