This research funding program aims to enhance the well-being of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members, Veterans, and their families by supporting Canadian research focused on supporting these populations. This joint initiative is the result of a partnership between Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC), the Canadian Forces Health Services (CFHS) and the Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research (CIMVHR).

2. Evaluating Trauma-Informed Support for Military Personnel and Enhancing Access to Resources using AI

Researchers are invited to apply for a new grant funding opportunity seeking proposals to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of using of LLM-based chatbots for trauma-informed support for sexual assault survivors in the military.
