Research Grants & Scholarships Program

 The Canadian Gerontological Nursing Association (CGNA) is proud to offer our members the following research grant and scholarship opportunities. Members are eligible to apply for research grants or scholarships if they have sustained membership in CGNA for a minimum of two consecutive years including the year of application. 


The 2023 application period for grants and scholarship will close Friday, January 20, 2023. Applications must be time stamped before 11:59 pm. Applications must be complete at the time of submission in order to be eligible for review. 

Research Grants

CGNA offers research grants each year in support of small research projects examining an area of gerontological nursing practice up to $2500. 


The research grant program is designed to support pilot studies which will lead to grant applications to larger funding agencies, or small studies focused on older adults and gerontological nursing for which other funding sources are limited. Full guidelines have been posted to provide nurses with an outline of what level of details is expected for research grant applications.
