Canadian Frailty Network (CFN)
Description
CFN welcomes proposals for research, knowledge translation or quality improvement studies directly addressing the “top ten” Canadian frailty priorities generated by the Canadian Frailty Priority Setting Partnership.
Offered in collaboration with the New Brunswick Health Research Foundation (NBHRF), this competition will use the results from the Canadian Frailty Priority Setting Partnership to help bring the voices of older Canadians living with frailty into the agenda.
This Catalyst Grant Program supports scalable implementation studies, feasibility studies, translational studies or quality improvement studies that investigate novel and innovative approaches, methodologies and/or technologies, including social innovations and novel approaches to policy change.
Studies must focus on older Canadians living with frailty and/or their families and caregivers and protocols must include frailty assessment of all study participants using a published and validated frailty assessment instrument appropriate for the care setting.
Eligibility
Applicants must hold an academic or research appointment at a CFN network member institution, and must also be eligible to receive grant funding from CIHR, NSERC or SSHRC. Individuals from any discipline are encouraged to apply.
Project Team Requirements
Project teams must be multi-sectoral, multi-institutional and multidiscplinary. In addition to researchers, partners and knowledge users, project teams must meaningfully engage older adults and their family/friend caregivers in all aspects of the project/process. There are also specific requirements regarding the development of highly qualified personnel (HQP).
Funding Availability
Projects with multidisciplinary, multi-institutional teams will be funded to a maximum of $100,000. Proposals must include partners who have committed cash or eligible in-kind contributions on a 1:1 basis to CFN funding. To be clear, as an example, if you request $100,000 from CFN you will need to secure an additional minimum $100,000 in partner cash or in-kind contributions.
