Grants and Contributions

Patient-Oriented Research (POR), which is foundational to evidence-informed health care, refers to a continuum of research that engages patients/communities, including People with Lived and Living Experience (PWLLE), as partners throughout the research process, focusses on patient/community-identified priorities, and improves patient/community outcomes. This research, conducted by multidisciplinary teams in partnership with relevant partners, aims to apply the knowledge generated to improve health outcomes for Canadians.
Canada's (SPOR) is a national coalition of federal, provincial and territorial partners (patients and informal caregivers, provincial health authorities, health centres, charities, philanthropic organizations, private sector, etc.) dedicated to the integration of research into care.
The vision for SPOR is that Canada will demonstrably improve health outcomes and enhance the health care experience for patients/communities through the integration of evidence at all levels of the health care system.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
• To provide recognition and funding to academic health research trainees;
• To provide a reliable supply of highly skilled and qualified researchers.

For the purpose of this PA, sport is defined as "Activities that develop specific skills, and that are organized around competition and governed by rules" and will contribute to the National Women's Health Research Initiative (NWHRI) which is advancing a coordinated research program that addresses under-researched and high-priority areas of women's health and will ensure new evidence improves women's and gender-diverse people's care and health outcomes.

The specific objective of this funding opportunity is to:

• Catalyze and support research efforts of Canadian researchers to use the available CLSA data to better understand how biological, medical, psychological, social, lifestyle and/or economic aspects of people’s lives have an impact on both maintaining health and the development of disease and disability as people age.
