The Healthy Workplace Initiatives Program fund is available to UBC departments, units and operational committees to support healthy workplace initiatives and share examples of good practice.
The fund is part of the Focus on People Framework strategy #1 “To develop a sustainable, healthy workplace.”
This competition typically funds applications totalling less than $5,000. Applications in excess of this amount are considered if highly adherent to the criteria. Review previous recipients.
The next round of HWIP Funding will be awarded in the Fall of 2012. The application deadline is Friday, November 16, 2012 at 4:30 pm.
We will have the Fall 2012 application form and funding criteria available on this website by the end of May.
Individualized coaching is available for departments/units interested in applying for funding. Please contact Suzanne Jolly, Health Promotion Coordinator (suzanne.jolly@ubc.ca or 604-822-8762) to book a meeting.
