Team Grant : Heart Failure Research Network
How to Apply:
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support a single nationally coordinated, interdisciplinary research Network (including patients, people with lived/living experience, family/caregivers, Indigenous Elders or Knowledge Keepers, government, policy makers, not-for-profit organizations, health care providers, researchers, clinicians and industry) focused on HF across the lifecycle, within various health delivery settings (including hospitals, primary care, home and community care as examples), and must consider HF in the context of multi-morbidity, Indigenous health and well-being and health disparities. This national Network will bring together experts across Canada from different disciplines, different sectors, and different jurisdictions working collaboratively on a number of inter-related research projects under an integrated and unified program of research. The overall goal of the Network is to understand the underlying causes, pathophysiology and social determinants of HF and to improve the prevention, detection, management, patient outcomes, quality of life, and delivery of care of this common and multifactorial condition.
The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:
- Improve understanding of the underlying causes, social determinants, pathophysiology, prevention, detection and management of HF and its subtypes (e.g., HFpEF), including the context of multi-morbidity, Indigenous health and well-being, and health disparities, in Canada through coordinated national research activities across the research pillars to co-create new knowledge, including technical and scientific expertise;
- Accelerate the iterative, bi-directional translation of evidence into practices, policies and new models of care for improved prevention and patient treatment, care, experiences, quality of life and outcomes through a collaborative national multi-sectoral, multi-pillar, and interdisciplinary approach;
- Develop, implement, evaluate, and validate interventions and models of care that foster improved HF health care delivery and outcomes; and, accelerate the mobilization of research discoveries and best, promising and wise practices to bridge gaps between research outcomes and health impacts; and,
- Build, foster, and promote relevant research capacity, including training and early career development, by providing high-quality, interdisciplinary training and mentoring through active engagement of established researchers, community leaders, including Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers, early career investigators and trainees.
