Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) Collaboration Grants
Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) recently launched the Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) Collaboration Grants.
The Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) Collaboration Grants are expected to catalyze patient-oriented research that aligns with the SPOR Capacity Development Framework and the SPOR Patient Engagement Framework by:
- Building capacity in Canada’s health system for patient-oriented research through projects conducted by teams comprised of researchers, patients, health care professionals and/or policy-makers; and,
- Increasing the number of new/early career investigators meaningfully involved in patient-oriented research by integrating them in patient-oriented research teams.
Proposal submissions: Proposals must demonstrate robust patient engagement approaches and follow the guiding principles of: inclusiveness, support, mutual respect and co-building.
Total Funding Available: $1,600,000; Funding of approx. 40 grants
Partners: As a component of SPOR, these collaboration grants will require a 1:1 match from a non-federal partner.
Evaluation Criteria: Approach; Building Capacity; Feasibility; Impact
