Grants and Contributions

Support research and development (R&D) projects led by college researchers in partnership with private sector, public sector or not-for-profit organizations based in Canada while encouraging collaboration with universities and/or other colleges.

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to extend the work of eligible SPOR SUPPORT Units to meet the following objective:

• To bridge the gap between research evidence and health care practice by providing services to generate evidence and innovations, leading to improvements in patient health, health care and service delivery by:
o Providing support services to respond to jurisdictional patient and community-oriented research needs;
o Strengthening and maintaining Canadian capacity in Patient-Oriented Research; and
o Engaging stakeholders (e.g. patients, policy makers, health care decision makers, clinicians and researchers) as active partners in both patient-oriented research and the implementation of its results into improved health care for Canadians.

This project is mostly related to increased knowledge and collaboration with stakeholders and/or international organizations.

Workshops on Indigenous knowledge and GEM geoscience.

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.
