Description
The Health System Impact (HSI) Embedded Early Career Researcher Award is the newest addition to the HSI program, and is launched biennially. The award provides early career researchers (ECRs) the opportunity to:
- – develop their embedded research roles and programs;
- – apply their research skills to help health system organizations tackle high priority challenges, contribute to evidence-informed decision-making, strengthen cultures of learning and improvement, and advance the Quintuple Aim;
- – build their collaborations and partnerships within and across the academic and health system communities; and
- – advance their leadership and impact as embedded research scholars.
Overall, the HSI Embedded ECR Award will help to establish a career pathway for embedded ECRs, enhance their potential for impact and contribution as embedded scholars, and increase the probability that they will secure an embedded scientist position with a Canadian health system organization and/or a faculty position in a Canadian university. Additionally, in aligning research talent with the evidence needs and priorities of health system organizations, the HSI Embedded ECR Award program will develop research capacity and capability within health system organizations for learning and improvement, helping to further advance learning health systems (LHSs) across Canada.
