ArcticNet, in partnership with UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) and Mitacs, is issuing this Call for Proposals (CFP) that is partially funded by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) to initiate new projects that are relevant to the Network’s mandate and that address emerging science priorities that support a self-determined and sustainable Canadian North.

The CFP has been endorsed as a contribution to the United Nations (UN) Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030 (“Ocean Decade”) in recognition of the role it will play in achieving the Ocean Decade’s vision. Marine proposals funded as part of the Call for Proposals (CFP) will be endorsed as Decade Actions and will become part of a highly visible, shared, global effort to advance ocean science by opening up opportunities to create new collaborations across disciplines, geographies and generations, and to establish access to new sources of support.

Applicants must submit their completed proposal by 17:00 EST February 18, 2022.

Telemedicine helps ensure that care continues to be provided to those who need it most by triaging low-risk urgent care and follow-up appointments while maintaining continuity of care, especially for chronic disease and behavioral health patients who may require routine check-ins regardless of geographic proximity between the HCP and the patient.

The Virtual Care Task Force (VCTF) was created by the Canadian Medical Association, the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. VCFT recently issued a report “Virtual Care – Recommendations for Scaling Up Virtual Medical Services” 1 and discussed the importance of enhancing virtual quality of care by improving:

• Informational continuity – how can we ensure that information on prior events is properly used to provide care that is appropriate to the patient's current circumstance?

• Relational continuity – how can we elevate and bridge the ongoing relationship between patients and providers which is the undergirding that connects care over time and bridges discontinuous events?

• Management continuity – how can we ensure that care received from different providers is connected in a coherent and efficient way to provide optimal patient care?

It is our intent to support Quality Improvement initiatives that enhance the virtual quality of care in areas outlined above or access to care with telemedicine.
