Kids Brain Health Network is delighted to announce recipients of funding for 2018-2020. This two-year period represents the final stage of KBHN’s second five-year cycle as a Network of Centres of Excellence. Successful applications are close to implementation, show likelihood of providing benefits to Canada and Canadians, and demonstrate potential to make significant improvements in the lives of children and families affected by neurodisability.

Project Key
Proto-Impact Projects identify a team and are ready to move toward impact. It is expected that these Projects will produce impactful deliverables annually, show promise of long-term sustainability, and result in strong team applications within the Network’s submission for renewal funding 2020-2025.
Discovery Impact Projects are ready to deliver results but could use additional support to realize full impact. Projects may be new to the KBHN portfolio, but must be synergistic with previous Network research. Preference was given to projects that will strengthen the Network’s application for renewal funding 2020-2025.
Team Development Grants support the establishment of larger Impact Teams for the Network’s 2020-2025 renewal application. Activities will be focused on development of neurodevelopmental disability community needs/issues, team building, and stakeholder engagement.
