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

- One month in advance of the first deadline in the application process that requires approvals or letters from Island Health (whether pre-application, letter of intent, draft, or full application) for grants under $100,000.

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.
