The CTKC is responsible for the overall governance of the ACT Research Grants Program. The CTKC has an Advisory Committee and an ACT Research Grants Program Review Panel made up of expert volunteers who have academic and program experience within health care as well as insights into the client experience. The ACT Research Grants Program Review Panel is co-chaired by Nancy Lefebre, Chief Clinical Executive and Senior Vice President Knowledge and Practice at Saint Elizabeth Health Care and Dr. John Hirdes, Ontario Chair in Home Care Research and Knowledge Exchange.
Throughout the implementation of funded grant projects, progress is monitored by program administrators. On completion, the results are disseminated to key care providers and decision makers to support knowledge transfer and change in the health care system.
The ACT Research Grants Program Review Panel will review all qualified proposals and make funding approval decisions. The number of grants awarded each year will depend on the quality of proposals received and grant funding available.
