in canada, cihr is participating in this call. cihr's additional eligibility for this call is follows: projects must be focused on the health and care of older persons and/or their caregivers and use a patient-oriented research approach. patient-oriented research (por) involves engaging patients, caregivers, families, communities as well as knowledge users and decision makers as partners in co-creating research. this partnered approach is a key element of research excellence and increases the quality, relevance, and impact of research evidence, increasing its uptake into health policy and practice. projects therefore must include a patient engagement plan with details on how people with lived and living experience (pwlle) and/or communities, including indigenous, will be part of the research team, designing and executing the research and subsequent knowledge mobilization. for more information, please also refer to spor’s patient engagement framework.
