What's happening at BC SUPPORT Unit Fraser Centre

Since the Fraser Centre’s inception, we are proud to have convened a group of interested patients and people with lived experience in the health system to become patient partners on research teams. Over time, this group of patients came together to form the PIiR (Patients Interested in Research) group.

This two-day event gathered over 200 community members, health researchers, and health providers to explore the decolonization of health research in the Fraser Salish region.

Many grant competitions, including the CIHR Project Grant and most Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research opportunities, now require or strongly encourage engagement of knowledge users in grant applications and research project plans.

We are pleased to share some exciting highlights from 2020/2021.
