Planning Award for Patient-Oriented Research and Knowledge Translation

The Planning Award will support teams in partnering with patients and other stakeholders to plan research studies or knowledge translation (KT) projects (knowledge dissemination or implementation) in the Fraser region. Note: operating expenses of research or KT projects are not eligible, only planning and engagement activities are eligible.
The award is funded and managed by the BC SUPPORT Unit Fraser Centre, a part of the CIHR Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR). The Centre is a partnership between Fraser Health and Simon Fraser University. Two awards of $10,000 each will be awarded (total $20,000) for a period of 9 months. Applicants cannot have already received funding for the proposed activity.
Eligibility
A researcher, health practitioner, or health care decision-maker can be the administrative lead for the award (Principal Applicant). Co-Principal Applicants are allowed, including patient partners.
Teams must include at least one of each of the first three stakeholder types in the following list, with the fourth stakeholder (health care decision-maker) to be included as appropriate (or the application must make clear how such individuals will be recruited during the course of the award):
• Patient partner
• Academic researcher
• Health Care Practitioner (health authority staff or physicians)
• Health care decision-maker (health authority or government staff)
