GRANTS & AWARDS

Innovation Fund

Since 2007 CFP has transformed more than $2.5 million in individual and corporate donations into awards, bursaries and scholarships for pharmacy researchers, innovators and leaders across the country. Grants from the Innovation Fund are a core component of CFP’s commitment to support pharmacy for a healthier Canada.

Congratulations to the 2026 recipients!

The Canadian Foundation for Pharmacy (CFP) is pleased to award grants from its Innovation Fund to a wide range of exciting projects in 2026.

From AI-assisted minor-ailment assessments to the prevention of cervical cancer, training for respiratory physical examinations and transforming pharmacies to primary care hubs, this year’s projects squarely help pharmacists advance their role as healthcare providers, practically and sustainably.

Donations from individuals and corporations enabled CFP’s Board of Directors to allocate a total of $150,000 in Innovation Fund grants this year in two categories: longer-term research projects and shorter “Move the Needle” initiatives. Applicants were asked to submit projects that meet the theme of enhancing Canadians’ experience with care and access to medication services (e.g., new service areas or delivery models, meeting the needs of under-served patients).

The Innovation Fund is a core component of CFP’s commitment to support the advancement of pharmacy practice for a healthier Canada. The application process for 2027 is tentatively scheduled to begin in March 2027. For more information, contact CFP Executive Director Linda Prytula, lprytula@cfpnet.ca or 905.334.3011.
