CIHR's Transitions in Care (TiC) initiative aims to improve the health and wellness of people living in Canada by supporting research that transforms the health system to improve outcomes for individuals experiencing various transitions in care. This initiative represents a research investment of nearly $38 million over the past six years.
As part of the TiC Team Grants Phase 2 funding opportunity, the Government of Canada, through CIHR, in partnership with the Azrieli Foundation, Mitacs, and the Rossy Foundation, is providing $12M to 14 inter-disciplinary research teams evaluating solutions to improve health care transitions.
The funded teams will investigate care transitions in various areas of our health system, such as mental health care, the pediatric transition to adult care, the care of people with complex medical conditions, the long-term care system, and palliative care.
