Caregiver Advisors for the CIHR CCNA Team Grant

We are a team of researchers (led by Dr. Doug Manuel) at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute applying to the CIHR CCNA Team Grant - Health Equity in Caregiving priority pool. Our proposal aims to develop tools for individuals and policy makers to enable equitable and sustainable caregiving for people with dementia/cognitive decline, with goals of preventing dementia and improving quality of life.

We are inviting caregivers and individual living with dementia/cognitive decline to join our team as caregiver/patient advisors. If the grant is funded (4 years), you’ll be invited to join our quarterly/annual meetings to help refine research questions, contextualize interpretations of findings, highlight factors or considerations we may have missed, and advise us on knowledge dissemination plans. The extent of your involvement can be flexible, and we will provide financial compensation for your time. For the grant application, you will be named as a caregiver/patient partner and collaborator.

We thank you for your consideration. Please feel free to email Dr. Wenshan Li (wensli@ohri.ca) or Dr. Stacey Fisher (stafisher@ohri.ca) if you have any questions or are interested.
