Description:
The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:
Improve understanding of the underlying causes, social determinants, pathophysiology, prevention, detection and management of HF and its subtypes (e.g., HFpEF), including the context of multi-morbidity, Indigenous health and well-being, and health disparities, in Canada through coordinated national research activities across the research pillars to co-create new knowledge, including technical and scientific expertise;
Accelerate the iterative, bi-directional translation of evidence into practices, policies and new models of care for improved prevention and patient treatment, care, experiences, quality of life and outcomes through a collaborative national multi-sectoral, multi-pillar, and interdisciplinary approach;
Develop, implement, evaluate, and validate interventions and models of care that foster improved HF health care delivery and outcomes; and, accelerate the mobilization of research discoveries and best, promising and wise practices to bridge gaps between research outcomes and health impacts; and,
Build, foster, and promote relevant research capacity, including training and early career development, by providing high-quality, interdisciplinary training and mentoring through active engagement of established researchers, community leaders, including Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers, early career investigators and trainees.
