“Our goal through this call is to continue to offer robust funding for projects that have the potential to create real change in the real world.” says Dr. Richard McIlmoyle, chair, CCRF Research Committee. “In the past we’ve invested in studies in an exciting range of areas; such as rehabilitation, sports sciences, seniors, women’s health, indigenous health and prescription drug management” adds Dr. McIlmoyle. “These investments will continue, with a clear eye on fresh initiatives that will demonstrate our profession is committed to evidence-based research addressing social, economic and health issues.”
