Institute will perform the following activities:
- Develop and support a mentoring program for researchers on PEI
- Support grant proposal writing and development, including providing internal and external grant proposal reviews
- Support seed or development projects that will lead to external grant funding opportunities
- Act as a resource centre for sources of funding
- Assist in the development and identification of new funding opportunities
- Manage the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Regional Partnership Program and similar development programs
- As
evidence of excellence emerges in specific health research areas,
assist in the development of these areas through pro-active recruitment
strategies
- Maintain a website and hard copy resource library to provide information on health research activities and researchers on PEI
- Facilitate
interactions between government of Prince Edward Island, researchers
and the University of Prince Edward Island (adjunct appointments, etc.)
- Communicate with voluntary organizations and with the Institute for Human Health Research

- Identify sources of funding to support personnel and to bring new researchers into areas of excellence on PEI

The PEI HRI does not duplicate existing funding activities and therefore does not fund operating grants
