$2.1M grant to help find better ways to bring research results to life
March 16, 2016
Dr.
Jeremy Grimshaw
and his team were awarded a $2.1M Foundation grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to develop better strategies for applying research findings to health care, a process called knowledge translation or KT. His team will develop general principles as well as practical tools to help health-care systems design and implement their own strategies. As an example, they are currently working to develop a KT strategy to improve organ donation after cardiac death. If successful, this strategy could increase the number of annual organ donations in Canada by 15 percent. The team will also work with health-care partners (for example Health Quality Ontario) to optimize their KT strategies. The program will also foster a sustainable KT research community through mentorship, advanced courses and a new knowledge translation concentration for University of Ottawa graduate programs. This CIHR grant is one of
22 recently awarded
to researchers at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute.
