the higher education quality council of ontario (heqco) invites interested colleges, universities and postsecondary organizations to submit expressions of interest for the second round of projects in our learning outcomes assessment consortium (loac).
defining what 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 should know and be able to do upon completion of their postsecondary studies, and constructing reliable and valid methods for measuring these desired learning outcomes are two of the most significant challenges facing the postsecondary education sector today. heqco has conducted work on these issues for the past six years, including creating the learning outcomes assessment consortium (loac) in december 2012. while current members of loac continue their work, heqco is issuing an expression of interest (eoi) for a new round of applications from colleges and universities that wish to join and contribute to the consortium. building on the consortium's previous work, the new projects will focus on skills assessment in diverse learning environments, scaling up best practices and measuring the value-added of postsecondary credentials.
the advanced clinical practice fellowship (acpf) program provides registered nurses (rn) or nurse practitioners (np) the opportunity to have a focused self-directed learning experience to develop clinical, leadership or best practice guideline implementation knowledge and skills, with support from a mentor(s), the organization where the rn/np is employed, and rnao. this initiative is aimed at developing and promoting nursing knowledge and expertise, and improving client care and health outcomes in ontario. clients are defined as individuals, families, groups or communities.
the length of the program is 12 weeks (full-time) or 20 weeks (part-time) for a total of 450 hours.

applications to the fiscal year 2017 (fy17) joint program committee-8/clinical and rehabilitative medicine research program (jpc-8/crmrp) are being solicited for the defense health agency (dha) research and development (j9), by the u.s. army medical research acquisition activity (usamraa). as directed by the office of the assistant secretary of defense for health affairs (oasd[ha]), dha research and development manages the defense health program (dhp) research, development, test, and evaluation (rdt&e) appropriation. the u.s. army medical research and materiel command (usamrmc) congressionally directed medical research programs (cdmrp) provides defense medical research and development program (dmrdp) execution management support for dhp core research program areas, including jpc-8/crmrp. this program announcement/funding opportunity and subsequent awards will be managed and executed by the cdmrp with strategic oversight from jpc-8/crmrp.
the jpc-8/crmrp is one of the major program areas within the dha and seeks to implement long-term strategies to develop knowledge and materiel products to reconstruct, rehabilitate, and provide definitive care for injured service members. the ultimate goal is to return service members to duty and improve their quality of life.
the fy17 jpc-8/crmrp hearing and balance research award is intended to provide support for research of exceptional scientific merit that has the potential to make a significant impact on improving the function, wellness, and overall quality of life for injured military service members, veterans, their caregivers and family members, and the american public. to address sensory systems requirements as defined in the crmrp initial capabilities document and the combat casualty care research program capability based assessment, the hearing and balance research award programmatic panel identified the following four major capability gaps for fy17.
to meet the intent of the award mechanism, all applications must specifically address one or more of the fy17 jpc-8/crmrp hearing and balance research award capability gaps listed below. applications proposing research outside of these capability gaps should not be submitted in response to this program announcement/funding opportunity.
