[Linganth] Language and health research funding competition

[HCALM Network]

Dear LingAnth list members,


For almost a decade Health Canada has been funding important and innovative research on linguistic issues in healthcare provision, through HCALM (Health Care Access for Linguistic Minorities) Network – an interdisciplinary and interinstitutional community of researchers. The project comprises the research capacity of the larger Training and Retention of Health Professionals Project (TRHP), based at the Institute for Health and Social Policy at McGill University.

The HCALM Network issues regularly a call for proposals for research projects whose focus is to investigate the relationship between language and access to health care or social services. Research themes include but are not limited to the following:

- Economics of language in health care

- Cultural and linguistic competency

- Health or social inequalities

- Health geography and spatial statistics

- Retention of health professionals in remote or rural communities

- Second language instruction

- Linguistic minorities in medical education and practice

- L2 capacity creation and development among health professionals

Thematic priority area: In the 2019-2020 funding competition, the topic of "Language-Aware Healthcare: Challenges, Opportunities, Horizons" has been identified as a thematic priority area. The topic is broadly construed, and eligible proposals may consider it from a variety of theoretical, conceptual and methodological perspectives.

Proposals must focus on access to health care for linguistic minorities in Quebec. Researchers may propose a study on any of the aforementioned research themes including comparative studies. In addition, proposals for studies aiming to measure the cost of language barriers in Quebec's health and social services system are encouraged. Collaborative projects with academic institutions outside Quebec (including outside Canada) are eligible, provided that at least one of the Principal Investigators is based at a Quebec university, and that the funds are managed and disbursed by a Quebec university.

For more details, including the duration and amount of the awards as well as the application guidelines, please refer to the Call for Proposals https://www.mcgill.ca/dialoguemcgill/files/dialoguemcgill/hcalm_19-20_research_proposals_cfp_en.pdf.

With best wishes,


Dr. Yael Peled
