Published purpose

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to: • Strengthen integration, uptake, deployment and/or scale-up (spread) of evidence-based solutions: Improve existing programs, services, and/or models of care including equitable and inclusive access for diverse groups of people living with cognitive impairment and dementia, and for those that care for them. • Build capacity: Strengthen implementation science approaches informed by intersectional equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) considerations among research teams, including early career researchers and knowledge users (i.e., PWLLE, decision makers), in cognitive impairment research. • Spark interdisciplinary collaborations: Build partnerships and collaborations across sectors and jurisdictions, as appropriate, to co-develop and implement projects to contribute to a sustained and equitable impact beyond the duration of the grant. • Foster knowledge mobilization and impact: Foster patient-oriented and integrated knowledge mobilization approaches and strategies throughout the research process to inform timely uptake and maximize research relevance and impact.
