THC Seed Grant, Round 5 recipients!

Congratulations to all of the successful Round 5 THC Seed Grant receipients! THC is thrilled to be supporting bold ideas that can translate into better solutions.

These seed grants are intended to support the establishment and conduct of interdisciplinary research that promotes applied research on priority issues and improvements relevant to disability and rehabilitation clinical practice, service delivery and systems. Seed grants provide funding to support interdisciplinary, start-up research; pilot work; translation of research; or the progress and/or upscaling of existing research, with the expectation that interdisciplinary teams will consolidate collaborations that may lead to further research and funding opportunities and/or achieve specific practice or service delivery impacts.
