Practice-based research is where healthcare providers, patient and family partners and other collaborators meaningfully engage to tackle complex, real-world challenges that directly affect patient care and experience. Patients and their caregivers value research to develop new drugs and treatments with the hopes of a cure for cancer, but they also value innovations grounded in evidence that make their interaction with the healthcare system and healthcare providers better throughout the cancer trajectory.
The BC Cancer Nursing and Allied Health Research and Knowledge Translation (NAHRKT) team is pleased to announce the inaugural BC Cancer Nursing and Allied Health Research Grant Competition to support practice-based research. Interested BC Cancer staff can submit original practice-based research ideas or use this funding opportunity to turn the learning from QI projects and pilot studies into larger research projects. Funding will support projects to address questions raised by BC Cancer nurses and allied health providers. This research competition is possible through generous support from the BC Cancer Foundation.
Two categories of funding are available for this offering of the grant competition:
- Funding up to $15,000 is available to support single-site research projects over 18 months. Funding is available for two projects in 2023.
- Funding up to $25,000 is available to support multi-site research projects over 18 months. Funding is available for one project in 2023.
The 2023 Competition is now closed, view the list of funded projects on our funding decisions page.
