Deadline: 20 August 2018
Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is currently inviting eligible organizations to submit applications for funding to support programs and initiatives to increase awareness of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) in Canada and prevent the use of alcohol in pregnancy.
The FASD National Strategic Projects Fund allocates $1.5 Million annually to provide contribution funding for national projects supporting the prevention, education and knowledge exchange, as well as the coordination of FASD activities. The Fund is designed to support FASD through:
- knowledge and evidence,
- knowledge translation and exchange,
- leadership, co-ordination, and collaboration,
- systems capacity development, and
This is done through the development of nationally applicable practical tools for community-based programs and health and allied professionals. The aim of the Initiative is to reduce the number of alcohol-affected births and to improve the outcomes for those affected by FASD.
The Fund follows the PHAC’s population health approach which recognizes that many factors influence people’s health. The Fund promotes prevention and positive actions that affect the health of the population as a whole, or that of specific population groups
