The Dalhousie Medical Research Foundation is an independent, external funding agency and was established for the sole purpose of funding excellence in medical research at Dalhousie Medical School and its affiliated research institutions.

Dalhousie Medical Research Foundation is not a disease specific organization. The Foundation focuses its support on the Faculty of Medicine’s four identified areas of research emphasis: Neuroscience, Cancer, Cardiovascular Research and Immunity, Inflammation and Infectious Diseases. Dalhousie Medical Research Foundation provides in excess of $1.5 million annually in research grants supporting equipment and infrastructure, training awards and senior research Chairs. Dalhousie Medical Research Foundation is, in fact, the largest non-government funding agency supporting local cancer research, providing over $500,000 to the Dalhousie Cancer Research Program.
