CALL FOR RESEARCH PROPOSALS 2017-2018
For additional information and to apply, please consult: Call for Research Proposals
The ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ Training and Retention of Health Professionals Project is launching a call for proposals for research projects whose focus is to investigate the relationship between language and access to health care or social services. Proposals for seed money to facilitate the development of new research projects will also be accepted. The principal applicant must be a researcher based in, or formally affiliated with, a Quebec institution such as a university or research institute.
Research themes include but are not limited to the following:
- Economics of language in health care
- Cultural and linguistic competency
- Health or social inequalities
- Health geography and spatial statistics
- Retention of health professionals in remote or rural communities
- Second-language instruction
Proposals must focus on access to health care for English-speaking minorities in Quebec. Researchers can propose a study on any of the aforementioned research themes including comparative studies. In addition, proposals for studies aiming to measure the cost of language barriers in Quebec's health and social services system are encouraged.
For the 2017-18 funding competition, a maximum of $10,000 is allocated per research project for a period of one year, with the intention of providing seed money for new research that expands the body of knowledge on language and health. No carry overs are permitted from one fiscal year to another.
