With the aim of unifying pain research in Quebec, the QPRN has set up a research consortia infrastructure model. Consortia are organized around priority themes identified by our members, partners and people living with chronic pain, with the aim of driving innovative, needs-based research in the Quebec ecosystem. Teams are made up of people from the research and clinical communities, as well as anyone else with expertise relevant to the work. The Chronic Pain Prevention and Sustainable Health for All bases its activities on the following definition of sustainable health: “a global approach that combines the physical and psychological health of people with the environment in which they live. It commits individuals and the community to deploying, at all stages of life, different interventions that will enable an optimal state of health for each individual, including vulnerable populations and future generations. Sustainable health thus aims to develop strategies for health promotion, disease prevention and early intervention, for health outcomes at lower cost”.
On this basis, the Chronic Pain Prevention and Sustainable Health for All consortium is launching this call for projects to kick-start its 2024-2032 activities. Three (3) grants of $10,000 will be available to initiate projects or add a sustainable health component to an existing project. In addition to the $10,000 funding, the winning teams will benefit from :
- Strategic and scientific support from QPRN management team, to foster links with other ongoing initiatives
- Access to knowledge mobilization platforms and support for the production of dissemination material
- Support from the consortium’s facilitation team to integrate sustainable health research concepts if this is a new element in your programming.
- Possibility of additional funding for the continuation of the project
DEADLINE August 26, 2024
