chs/novo nordisk canada psychosocial research programme

the chs/novo nordisk canada psychosocial research program was created to engage hemophilia program professionals/graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 from the allied health disciplines (ie. nursing, physiotherapy & social work) in research activities addressed to understanding the psychosocial impact of hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders and to improve the quality of life of persons and families whose lives are affected by these disorders.

the primary intent of this program is to offer one $20,000 research grant.

the major portion of the grant would be to cover the research time for the successful candidate(s), including the time for research assistants. a small amount can be devoted to project expenses.

multidisciplinary collaboration:
collaboration with multidisciplinary care providers and/or between two or more hemophilia centres is accepted and encouraged. collaboration efforts may include, for example, social work, physical therapy and genetics. it thus may be possible for a hemophilia centre team to jointly submit a cooperative research project. additionally, inter-regional applications will be considered.
 
grants will be offered for a one-year period to begin in april 2023.

the canadian hemophilia society – bayer advance canada research program

the canadian hemophilia society – bayer advance canada research program was created to engage canadian hemophilia treaters in activities to identify and research key issues in the ageing hemophilia population.

the research program will support studies that aim to:

•             identify and provide insight into key issues associated with the ageing hemophilia population

•             identify how management of age-related co-morbidities should be adapted to those with hemophilia

•             create and deliver evidence-based information to health care practitioners (hcps), the public and policy makers that will lead to improved care and qol for older canadians living with hemophilia

the primary intent of this program is to offer one or two $30,000 research grants, to a maximum of $60,000 for one year.
