Dr. Ian Graham awarded $3.3M to tackle the challenge of effectively applying health research to health care
May 11, 2016
The ultimate goal of most health research is for the results to be put into practice. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen. In many cases, research findings are applied very slowly to everyday health care or not at all. Failing to put research into action affects patient health and is wasteful of research funding.
Dr.
Ian Graham
has received a $3.3M Foundation grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) to create a program that will help research play a more prominent role in health policy, health systems and clinical decision making. The team, which includes researchers and knowledge users from most of the provinces, wants to find out how to optimize collaborations between researchers and people who use their research. They also want to create conditions where the results will be more likely to influence policy and clinical decision-making.
This is
one of 22 CIHR grants
awarded to researchers at The Ottawa Hospital / uOttawa in the last competition.

Our focus on research and learning helps us develop new and innovative ways to treat patients and improve care. As a multi-campus hospital, affiliated with the University of Ottawa, we deliver specialized care to the Eastern Ontario region, but our techniques and research discoveries are adopted around the world. We engage the community at all levels to support our vision for better patient care.
University of Ottawa
The University of Ottawa is home to over 50,000 students, faculty and staff, who live, work and study in both French and English. Our campus is a crossroads of cultures and ideas, where bold minds come together to inspire game-changing ideas. We are one of Canada’s top 10 research universities—our professors and researchers explore new approaches to today’s challenges.
