Besrour Centre - Call for Proposals: Global Co-RIG Phase II
The Besrour Centre for Global Family Medicine (Besrour Centre) at the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC), thanks to the generous support of Dr. Sadok Besrour and the CFPC’s Foundation for Advancing Family Medicine (FAFM), is seeking proposals for a Global COVID-19 pandemic innovation response for grants up to $50,000 Canadian dollars (CAD). The primary care response to COVID-19 must support innovation that targets and protects highly vulnerable populations that lack access to primary care.
Projects on mental health integration using a team-based approach are especially encouraged.
This initiative is a response to the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health and well being of nations. The pandemic has put immense pressure on health systems and as we move towards a post-pandemic phase, the focus is shifting towards building resilient primary health care.
The goal of Phase II of Global Co-RIG is to support family practice / primary care innovations that improve access to services and respond to the long-term effects of the pandemic, such as mental health, especially for the most vulnerable communities and those living in remote areas. The family practice innovations that are likely to have a high degree of impact include education innovations, practice innovations, use of technology, and responses that address equity and inclusion. The request for proposal will contribute to the achievement of how family innovative practice will have a high degree of impact in reducing the long-term harms of COVID-19.
