Grants and Contributions

This directed grant would be for $350,000 total over three fiscal years and would be provided as a $50,000 supplement in fiscal year 2022-2023, as well as a two-year extension to the duration of the existing grant, at $150,000 per year in fiscal year 2023-2024 and 2024-2025.The objective of the supplemental funds and extension is to further enhance and facilitate the achievement of the overall NCR objectives:
• Support the current NCR leadership and team to continue strengthening the HSIF cohort through development, implementation, and evaluation of an annual NCTP for the HSI Fellowship program in 2022-23*, 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, to achieve the original three core NCR objectives:
o Support HSI Fellows and their health system and academic supervisors to embark on successful, rewarding and impactful embedded fellowships.
o Foster interaction, exchange, and opportunities for collaboration among the fellows, the health system supervisors, and the academic supervisors from across the cohorts.
o Provide fellows and supervisors with training and learning opportunities in the enriched core competencies.
• Facilitate a high-quality learning environment that offers participants from across HSI Fellowship cohorts the opportunity to connect, learn, and collaborate to advance Canada’s progress towards a learning health system that harnesses the full talents of PhD-trained individuals for continuous health system improvement.
• Catalyze the development of open-access training content and materials focused on the enriched core competencies for health services and policy research that can be adapted and integrated into curricula for trainees at IHSPR and related doctoral training programs.
• *NOTE: Providing a supplement of $50,000 in fiscal year 2022-2023 reflects the increasing size of the cohort (with new fellows and mentors joining each year) and the costs of needing to plan for hybrid events on account of the evolving COVID context (with both in-person and virtual offerings).

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Support the creation and/or further development of inclusive, formal networks by encouraging national and international collaboration, resource sharing, capacity building and dissemination in priority research areas. Diverse groups are encouraged to apply;
• Ensure meaningful representation of researchers and other team members who have historically faced barriers in the research ecosystem, including but not limited to those marginalized by gender, Indigenous Peoples, racialized minorities, persons with disabilities, and members of LGBTQ2S+ communities;
• Identify and establish novel connections across Canada. This will bring together a collaborative multidisciplinary, diverse group of technical and scientific experts;
• Develop and strengthen research capacity by connecting and engaging current researchers and training the next generation of researchers;
• Develop and provide health research leadership across Canada, linking to related international initiatives (as appropriate);
• Facilitate the mobilisation of new knowledge generated by research evidence; and
• Ensure patient engagement to increase the outcomes and health impacts for Canadians.

The Project Grant program is expected to:

• Support a diverse portfolio of health-related research and knowledge translation proposals at any stage, from discovery to application, including commercialization;
• Promote relevant collaborations across disciplines, professions, and sectors; and
• Contribute to the creation and use of health-related knowledge.
