    Requirements for External Grants

    Notice of Intent to Apply

    All Island Health employees or affiliates who plan to submit an external grant application must complete a Notice of Intent to Apply. Once we receive your notification, we can connect you with the right people and departments, help you develop your budget, and request letters of support on your behalf.

    Notifications must be submitted as soon as possible and are requested at least:

    Requesting Letters of Support

    We can assist external researchers in requesting letters from Island Health to support grant applications aligned with our strategic priorities.

    Requests must be made at least three weeks in advance of the application deadline. All notifications and requests must be submitted online through this form.
