Programs & Grants
The Canadian FAIT Foundation funds and delivers programs and grants that accelerate the development and adoption of safe, effective food allergy treatments. Through research, education, and capacity-building, we are helping ensure that families across Canada can access life-changing food allergy treatments.
Research Grants
Our Research Grants support high-impact clinical and translational research that advances food allergy treatment, with a strong focus on projects that improve safety, effectiveness, and real-world accessibility. By funding investigator-initiated studies like the FAIT—we help generate the evidence needed to refine protocols, scale delivery models, and move promising therapies into everyday care.
Student Grants
The Canadian FAIT Foundation’s Summer Student Grants invest in the next generation of food allergy researchers by providing hands-on research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate trainees. These awards support students working alongside leading allergy research teams, contributing to projects that advance treatment innovation while building a skilled pipeline of future scientists committed to improving outcomes for food-allergic families.
FAIT Symposium
The FAIT Symposium is a one-day, accredited educational meeting designed to train and support allergists in delivering food allergy treatments. Led by Canada’s leading clinician-scientists, the symposium provides practical, evidence-based guidance, clinical protocols, and peer-to-peer learning to help physicians confidently bring these treatments into their own practices—expanding access for patients nationwide. The first symposium took place in Sept 2025 in Vancouver. Details of our next Symposium will be released soon.
