As outlined in the SPOR Patient Engagement Framework, Patient-Oriented Research (POR), which is foundational to evidence-informed health care, refers to a continuum of research that engages patients, including People with Lived and Living Experience (PWLLE), as partners throughout the research process, focusses on patient-identified priorities, and improves patient outcomes. This research, conducted by multidisciplinary teams in partnership with relevant stakeholders, aims to apply the knowledge generated to improve health outcomes for Canadians.
Canada's Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (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 patient-oriented research into care.
The vision for SPOR is that Canada will demonstrably improve health outcomes and enhance the health care experience for patients through the integration of evidence at all levels of the health care system.
As a partner in SPOR, CIHR will provide funding for applications that align with the SPOR vision, the SPOR Patient Engagement Framework and the SPOR Capacity Development Framework.
Successful applicants will have an opportunity to engage with PASSERELLE SPOR National Training Entity to develop their patient-oriented research skills, enhance their patient-oriented research training experience, and expand their patient-oriented research network.

The specific objectives of the core component of this funding opportunity are to:

• Continue to build and strengthen research and knowledge mobilization capacity within and across IYS networks, including among researchers, service providers, decision makers, and policy makers.
• Catalyze collaborations and knowledge sharing within and across IYS networks that will contribute evidence about best and wise practices regarding the development, implementation, policies, effectiveness, and ongoing monitoring of IYS in Canada, and using diverse research methods such as those based in Indigenous ways of knowing and engagement of youth and caregivers/families.
• Support the uptake of common data approaches and open science practices within and across IYS networks to support LHS networks, and to identify best and wise practices for LHSs in community-based settings.
• Facilitate effective and meaningful youth and caregiver/family engagement throughout all stages of the project, ensuring youth and caregivers/families, as well as providers and policy makers, all play key roles.

The specific objectives of the data component of this funding opportunity are to:

• Develop the necessary expertise and resources to meaningfully collect, integrate, manage, and analyze IYS data within each jurisdiction, to strengthen the jurisdiction’s LHS network.
• Establish youth and community end-user priorities in data analysis and use, along with researchers, decisions-makers and other key health stakeholders within each jurisdiction’s LHS network.
• Contribute IYS data from each jurisdiction’s LHS network to the federated pan-Canadian IYS data platform.
• Work with the federated pan-Canadian IYS data platform to reliably extract knowledge from data that will ultimately allow stakeholders to have more timely, accurate, comprehensive and diverse information on youth mental health and substance use.
