Grant: Planning Grants

We are proposing to use a CIHR Planning Grant as an opportunity to develop an informed and strategic plan of inquiry in the area of enhancing psychiatric inpatient care. Specifically, we would bring together a diverse and highly informed group of stakeholders and researchers to examine how recovery-oriented care might be implemented and systematically researched in inpatient contexts. This is an area in which there is a striking lack of commentary and study despite strong endorsement for the recovery model by service leaders and decision makers, as well as the demands for a higher quality of care being heard from consumers and family members.
