Team Grant: Official Language Minority Communities in Health Research

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Generate new knowledge through OLMC researcher-led teams to advance our understanding of the health care issues facing Canadians living in official language minority communities.
• Cultivate collaborations that build and/or strengthen co-design and partnerships between researchers and the OLMC health care community (i.e., policy and decision-makers) with a shared goal in supporting evidence-informed solutions to the health issues experienced within official language minority communities.
• Maximize research impact and knowledge mobilization to facilitate the integration and use of evidence to inform health policy, program development and system improvements.
• Foster a high-quality, interdisciplinary training and mentoring environment that actively engages trainees and early career researchers to increase capacity and prepare a diverse next generation of leaders to address OLMC health priorities.
