Recipients: Health System Impact Embedded Early Career Researcher Award
Backgrounder
The Health System Impact Embedded Early Career Researcher Award is a new funding opportunity from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research’s Institute of Health Services and Policy Research. It is a new stream of funding under the long-standing Health System Impact Program. It provides researchers within the first five years of their academic careers with the opportunity to:
- apply their research skills to help tackle health system challenges while being embedded in a health system organization in Canada
- engage in research that has the potential to improve population health outcomes, improve care and patient experience, improve health care providers’ experience, lower costs and achieve better value for money, and improve health equity for all
- build their collaborations and partnerships within and across the academic and health system communities
CIHR and host institutions are providing $800,000 over four years to 12 recipients, for a total investment of $9.6M.
