Economic Analysis of Supports for Veteran Family Members Research Grant

The Atlas Institute is seeking applications for a two-year research funding opportunity to conduct an economic analysis on enabling family members of Canadian Armed Forces Veterans to access mental health and well-being supports in their own right.

Selected vendors will perform the work offsite at their own office premises in Canada. Eligible principal applicants include independent researchers affiliated with Canadian post-secondary institutions, Canadian independent research or economic consulting firms, or individuals affiliated with Canadian Indigenous or Veteran/Veteran Family NGOs with research mandates. Applicants must complete an SGBA+ course with proof of certification. The total available budget is up to $75,000 CAD. Applicants must submit a completed application, a Conflict of Interest form, and an up-to-date CV as a single PDF to [email protected] by December 7, 2026. Applications open October 26, 2026, and an external Scientific Review Committee will evaluate submissions based on standardized scoring criteria.
