Description
The objective of the BloodTechNet Award Program is to facilitate the development of innovative educational projects that network the transfusion, cellular therapy and transplantation communities in Canada. To achieve this objective, the Program will support projects delivering educational tools and resources that support the development of skills, knowledge and expertise of the health professionals in this network. The BloodTechNet Award Program supports the Canadian Blood Services’ Centre for Innovation’s goal of mobilizing knowledge in order to promote excellence in transfusion and transplantation medicine. Examples of resources developed through previous BloodTechNet Award Program competitions can be found online.
The project must have a clear plan with defined educational goals and deliverables that will be completed within the one-year term of the award.
While not mandatory, priority will be given to projects that are collaborative in nature and, when relevant, include team members from a variety of health care professions, departments, organizations and/or jurisdictions. Applicants are encouraged to propose collaborations with Canadian Blood Services and can contact centreforinnovation@blood.ca for help identifying potential collaborations.
