Overview

The Healthy Brains, Healthy Lives (HBHL) initiative is a high profile, high priority multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral initiative located at McGill University made possible with support from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF).

The objective of the Ignite grant is to support small-scale validation/proof-of-principle efforts relating to the development of a neuroscience-related technology or a commercially-oriented innovation.
