We’re making a difference.
Since its inception, the BCSEMRF has provided over $250,000 in research funding to projects related to sport and exercise medicine.
We fund projects that meet the highest methodological standards. Each proposal is assessed by our Scientific Committee. By donating to the Foundation, you are funding clinically-relevant sport and exercise medicine research in British Columbia.
