Description
We are pleased to announce new funding in the area of long-term care, a sector that witnessed significant devastation from the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Seven CIHR Institutes including the Institutes of Aging (IA), Health Services and Policy Research (IHSPR), Circulatory and Respiratory Health (ICRH), Gender and Health (IGH), Infection and Immunity (III), Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis (IMHA), and Population and Public Health (IPPH) in partnership with the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation, The Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research (MSFHR) and the New Brunswick Health Research Foundation have partnered with the Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement (CFHI) and the Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI) to fund Implementation Science Teams – Strengthening Pandemic Preparedness in Long-Term Care (LTC) Funding Opportunity. These teams will work hand-in-hand with LTC and/or retirement homes across Canada to support evidence-informed implementation and sustainability of promising practice interventions and policies designed to improve pandemic preparedness, and to rigorously evaluate the outcomes and impacts of the interventions. The application timelines are rapid (see below for details), designed to generate information in time to mitigate the consequences of potential future COVID-19 outbreaks.
