Applying to EXTRA
Program Costs
Because of the financial support provided to the program by Health Canada and the existing provisions of the funding agreement, two levels of program fees apply to participants:
- Healthcare organizations
A one-time $5,000 program fee per individual must be paid by the sponsoring organization at the time of acceptance of the fellowship(s). - Government departments/ministries
A one-time 'marginal cost-recovery' fee for policy stream participants is $15,000 for each individual paid by the sponsoring government department/ministry.
Program fees will be applied at the time of acceptance of the award fellowship. If you are from a small and non-urban organization that may be unable to meet the $5,000 program fee, you may apply to the EXTRA program's "equity fund" for assistance, prior to submitting an application. In addition, all participants must have a laptop computer upon entering the program.
