The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) is pleased to announce the Call for Notice of Intent and Full Applications for the 2016/17 HSRF Calls for Targeted Research competition. The purpose of the HSRF Calls for Targeted Research is to solicit and fund focused research applications within the following three (3) MOHLTC priority areas: Nursing, Problem Gambling and Tobacco Control.
For each of the three (3) priority areas, key knowledge gaps related to current/anticipated policy development and program development were identified as targeted research areas of interest for policy makers and knowledge users through a consultative process.
Please refer to the Detailed HSRF Calls for Targeted Research Full Application instructions for definitions of targeted research priority areas and areas of focus.
As in the 2013/14 HSRF Calls for Targeted Research, applicants will be assessed on the extent to which sex and gender have been considered in their proposed research (i.e., rationale, methods and knowledge translation and exchange (KTE) plan). Four additional cross-cutting components have also been identified for HSRF awards and applicants are encouraged to incorporate any/all of these components into their projects where applicable and/or feasible. These cross-cutting components are:
- Equity
- Aboriginal Health
- Patient-Centred Care
- Implementation Science
Please refer to the HSRF Guidelines for definitions and selected examples of government initiatives and commitments related to each cross-cutting component.
