The Banting Research Foundation, is the oldest organization funding Health Research in Canada, founded in 1925, and our centenary is fast approaching. Our mission is to recognize and support Canada’s most talented and innovative health and biomedical scientists with seed money in the first three years of their university appointments to help launch their independent research programs. We have seed-funded over 1,300 early-career researchers to date and, through our capacity to recognize talent early and to take risks, have achieved remarkable success in fostering discoveries that eventually translated into improved health and wellness.
