Description:

Researchers from relevant fields are invited to submit proposals to develop a theoretical model of financial well-being, identify the factors that affect it, and the extent to which financial well-being influences overall well-being within the Veteran population. The funding opportunity also involves the proposal of definitions for financial well-being, financial security, financial resilience and financial stability in the context of this population.

Additional Program Information:

This funding opportunity is seeking submissions to construct a theoretical framework for assessing financial well-being within the Veteran community in Canada and to identify and test the variables influencing it. A review of the academic literature and public documents regarding financial well-being frameworks, strengths and challenges of those existing frameworks, and tools available to augment financial well-being will be required.

To support their research, applicants may apply for access to a variety of survey data on Canadian Veterans and their families through the Research Data Centre (RDC).

Eligibility:

Proposals must be led by a senior investigator with a PhD in a relevant field.

Research ethics board approval from an accredited academic institution in Canada will be required prior to funding being issued.
