Objective
- To bridge the gaps between research products and their use in real-world settings by facilitating behaviour or system changes.
- To fund research activities to study ways to speed up the appropriate adoption of innovations
- To provide research funding to help support a sustainable health system that optimally delivers these innovations in a fair and equitable way to those who will benefit
Projects that are in scope of this program include the following:
- Projects aimed at facilitating the adoption of research output, interventions, policies, or practices in the healthcare system using scientific methods and drawing on implementation science.
- Projects focused on developing and testing implementation science methods or strategies to facilitate uptake and integration of research outputs, interventions, policies, or practices in the healthcare system.
- Projects investigating the barriers to implementation or developing optimal solutions to implementation challenges in the context of the Ontario healthcare system.
- Projects evaluating the comparative effectiveness and cost effectiveness of different implementation strategies in the oncology ecosystem.
Eligibility
OICR invites applications from investigators at Ontario academic centres, hospital research institutes or other government research institutions. There is no limit to the number of applications investigators are eligible to submit as PI or Co-PI. OICR is focused on developing and supporting the next generation of cancer researchers, and strongly encourages applicants to include early career investigators/clinicians as part of the project team. Further, teams should consider the inclusion of a physician and/or a biostatistician for relevant projects. This Request for Applications does not require previous OICR funding support in order to be eligible.
