Grant: Patient-Oriented Research Collaboration Grants

CanFASD is seeking funds to further support CanFASD and its Family Advisory Committee's ( FAC) commitment to patients and families by hosting a 2 day workshop that implements recommendations made by the FAC for engaging individuals and families affected by FASD in research and knowledge translation. The goals are: •To share and discuss new knowledge about FASD prevention, diagnosis, and intervention tailored to the concerns and interests of people living with this disability, their families, and those who care for them; and •To provide opportunities for open, accessible and ongoing dialogue between FASD researchers, people living with FASD, and their families to inform CanFASD's future research and knowledge exchange priorities; In turn, this unique opportunity to engage in multidirectional dialogue with researchers and knowledge users will provide the opportunity to: •Identify research questions, emerging issues, and knowledge translation priorities of concern to families and individuals living with FASD that could form the basis of future research; and •Identify needs, gaps and opportunities in the FASD health research landscape, priority policy issues and/or priority research questions, where such common understanding is currently lacking or requires further development.
