Four College of Nursing Teams Receive Funding for Patient-Driven Research
Drs. Bally, Compton, Graham, de Padua, Rohatinsky (PhD) and Ms Luimes from the University of Saskatchewan (USask) College of Nursing were successful in the 2018-19 Sprout Grant funding competition.
The Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation (SHRF) in partnership with the Saskatchewan Centre for Patient-Oriented Research (SCPOR) announced earlier in February funding for 11 patient-driven research projects, four which were from the College of Nursing.
Teams, which include researchers, health care providers, health system decision makers, and patient/family advisors, will use the funding to investigate health challenges such as Dr. Noelle Rohatinsky and her team’s research on improving care for those living with inflammatory bowel disease.
