Research & Education


Our original mandate was raising money for research to eradicate polio, and we continue to focus on research annually.

The awards and grants currently include:

  • The Jonas Salk Award, The Jonas Salk Award, presented annually, acknowledges a Canadian scientist, physician or researcher who has made a new and outstanding contribution in science or medicine to prevent, alleviate or eliminate a physical disability.

    The award is jointly presented by sanofi pasteur (formerly known as Connaught Laboratories) and Ontario March of Dimes. Both organizations enjoyed relationships with Dr. Salk that contributed to his successful polio vaccine.

  • Paul Martin Sr. Fellowship, a three-year fellowship jointly funded by Ontario March of Dimes and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research supports either biomedical or rehabilitation research.
