2024 AMS History of Healthcare Program Awards Announcement

AMS Healthcare is proud to announce the fourteen distinguished recipients of our 2024 research grants, doctoral research, and fellowship awards. These individuals join a growing community of over 66 historians who have been recognized since the program’s inception in 2015. Through these awards—Post-Doctoral Fellowship Awards ($45,000), Doctoral Research Awards ($25,000), and Project Grants (up to $20,000)—AMS Healthcare aims to promote the scholarship and teaching of healthcare history while fostering public interest in the evolution of healthcare, disease, and medicine.

This year’s awardees, selected by an expert review panel, are set to deepen the impact of historical healthcare research in Canada and beyond. Their work will provide valuable insights and lessons that will shape the future of Canadian healthcare.

Since the 1970s, AMS Healthcare, in collaboration with various partners, has been instrumental in advancing the study of the History of Healthcare in Canada. Today, AMS remains the primary supporter of this important field, working to broaden the scope of research, increase public engagement, and enhance the way the history of healthcare is taught and understood. We offer funding opportunities for researchers, healthcare professionals, and students to ensure the continued growth and relevance of this field.

Applications for the 2025 awards will open on January 8, 2025, with over $400,000 in funding available. Learn more about the program here
