Opportunity to reinforce POR and LHS capacities
The Unit’s program
The targeted grant program to improve care trajectories is a critical component of the Unit’s activities.
The goal of the program is to support research teams in improving care and service trajectories through targeted grants. In line with the priority needs identified by the organizations, the support offered to the participating teams helps to improve the quintuple aim for an identified trajectory.
The targeted grant program represents an opportunity to strengthen research and implementation capacity in the health and social services network.
The collaboration between organizations such as the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux du Québec, the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé and the Unit allows for a better understanding of care and service trajectories in order to support transformation and allow for the improvement of practices in different areas. The Unit’s teams, recognized for their specific expertise in several fields, will accompany and support the teams throughout their project. We are currently working on the development of the new program.
A unique collaboration
The Unit at the heart of improving trajectories
1. Deploy targeted competitions or support trajectory-based projects
- Preferred approach for basing research on the best science and mobilizing research teams
- Possibility of optimizing contest duration by setting intensity levels
- Supporting research teams and project leaders
2. Plan the implementation
- Ensure that the implementation phase is integrated into submitted research projects
3. Invest in scaling up projects
- Establish a robust replication, dissemination and scaling plan
- Plan the implementation of this step by the plants
- Support and accompany facilities in this process (e.g. periodic training, progress reports)
