• Breaking New Ground
The Breaking New Ground Grant funds innovative, high-reward projects that will break new ground and build evidence and programs to dramatically improve the prevention, treatment, and care cascade in Ontario. This funding stream supports the piloting, evaluation, or scale up of HIV interventions. The project should address a clear care or quality gap in the current HIV care cascade, or health and social system and work to achieve impact at the front lines of HIV prevention and care.

Additional Details

• Implementation Science Grant
Project funding for the development of sustainable, effective HIV programs and services. This funding stream will support implementation science initiatives that will contribute to a rapid learning system for HIV.

Additional Details

• Community Based Project and Participatory Evaluation Grants
Support for community-based agencies, their staff, and people living with HIV to undertake projects, needs assessments, quality improvements, and evaluation activities that help develop and modify effective programs, services, and policies or generate data to make the case for additional HIV inquiry relevant to Ontario’s needs.
