We close the gap between research and practice 

Targeted, community-engaged funding ensures that research drives improvements in health and care. By investing in programs that integrate evidence directly into practice, we increase the impact of health research. 

This approach is part of our strategic focus on mobilizing action on health research priorities. By championing research that’s both relevant and ready for implementation, we are supporting a future where evidence contributes directly to healthier communities.

what we’re doing

Improving seniors’ care

The Advancing the Use of Evidence in Seniors’ Home and Community Care Program funds research teams to implement promising approaches in seniors’ care in the health system and evaluate the outcomes. It aims to provide evidence to help decision-makers support programs that help seniors to live longer, healthier lives more independently in their communities. 

This program provides a model for translating evidence into action, offering resources and support for research teams implementing proven interventions in complex, real-world settings.
