Funding, News and Announcements

Sport Canada is accepting proposals from Canadian universities interested in leading Canada’s first Gender Equity in Sport Research Hub. On May 1, 2019, the Minister of Science and Sport, the Honourable Kirsty Duncan, announced funding for the creation of a Gender Equity in Sport Research Hub.

The Research Hub is expected to provide credible thought leadership, and to generate an evidence base to support gender equity in sport through innovative, transparent and sustainable research activities, data curation, network-building and partnerships to contribute to pan-Canadian behaviour change.

Sport Canada will provide $1.65 million over three (3) years (2019-2020 to 2021-2022) to the successful applicant. Background information and instructions on how to apply can be found on the Sport Canada website.
