Questions about healthcare funding

Every program on this page was checked against the funder’s own page on . The funder’s page is always the authority.

How many healthcare funding programs are open?

83 of the 90 programs listed for healthcare in Canada are open as of our latest check on September 4, 2026.

How much total funding is available?

Over $24.9M in total funding is currently accessible in healthcare funding across the 83 open programs as of our latest check.

Which healthcare funding programs close next?

In healthcare funding, the next deadlines: Québec Research Fund - Health Sector (FRQS) closes on October 4, 2026; Developing Medicines through Open Science (DMOS) closes on December 31, 2026; PISAQ – Stream 2 closes on December 15, 2027.

Do I need to be exclusively a healthcare business to qualify?

No — programs are tagged by what the funded work involves, not by what your business does exclusively. If part of your activity is healthcare, those rows generally apply to that part, and they stack with the regional and type-based programs listed elsewhere on this site.

Does a program appearing on this healthcare funding list mean my business is eligible?

No — appearing on this healthcare funding list is not an eligibility decision, and every funder applies its own criteria. Happly checks your business against each of these 90 programs and tells you which you actually match, before you spend time on an application.
