Collaboration Mentorship Grant -CHILD-BRIGHT Network

[A Former User]

interesting grant opportunity for patient partners..

The CHILD-BRIGHT Network, headquartered at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC), is an innovative pan-Canadian network that aims to improve life outcomes for children with brain-based developmental disabilities and their families. Using family and child-focused approaches, we work to create novel interventions to optimize development, promote health outcomes, and deliver responsive and supportive services. Co-directed by investigators at the BC Children's Hospital and The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), CHILD-BRIGHT is made possible thanks to a five-year grant by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) under Canada's Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR), and 28 generous funding partners from public and private sectors across Canada.

The 2020 CHILD-BRIGHT Collaborative Mentorship Grant is a new funding opportunity that aims to build connections between stakeholder groups with interests in CHILD-BRIGHT projects as we move towards a better understanding of patient-oriented research (POR) practices, and learn how to authentically engage all parties throughout the research process. The grant aims to support a group of at least three (3) stakeholders to leverage collective expertise towards better understanding the practice of POR. Together the group will explore how to:
1. Address a specific barrier that impedes authentic patient engagement, or
2. Work towards building a novel POR project.
AMOUNT OF FUNDING
Up to $5,000 in funding will be provided to each group to support this proposed initiative. Up to three teams will be funded in this first round of competition.

Application Deadline : September 30 2020
