Call for Applications - Seed Grants for Quality Improvement Initiatives
In 2016, a group of physicians, Northern Health administration, Ministry of Health and Doctors of BC representatives developed a proposal to support specialists, as well as facility-based family physicians, in quality improvement focused on improving patient care across the Northern Health region. The seed grant funding was created to support small projects that would springboard into potentially larger projects focused on patient and family-centered care.
Applications can now be submitted for the available 2017/2018 Seed Grants. Funding opportunities are available to a maximum of $5000 per quality improvement initiative. Submissions will be reviewed for approval by a Review Committee that includes patients, specialists, Northern Health and Doctors of BC representatives. We will be accepting applications from January 3, 2018 to March 2, 2018.
Quality Improvement Coaches can support physicians in filling out the project charter forms.
