The HIV Endgame Program supports people and projects (including innovative, discovery-based and investigator-driven-game-changing projects) that have the potential to:
- Meet the needs of populations in Ontario most affected by HIV.
- Drive changes in policy and practice across the HIV prevention, engagement, and care cascade.
- Lead to more integrated health and social services.
- Identify effective ways to address the social determinants that have a negative impact on the health of communities most affected by HIV.
- Contribute to a rapid learning HIV health and social system.

Incubator Grant
The Incubator Program will support projects that are deemed high-risk, high-reward and that will test, evaluate, and scale up innovative interventions and effective programs and services for the population living with HIV and at risk for HIV in Ontario. The purpose of this grant is support initiatives that will help us meet or exceed 95-95-95 targets across the province.
