Grant: Planning Grants

The proposed 2 day meeting in Victoria BC will be developed to support further development of a community-university research collective with the primary goals of developing a community based research agenda related to oral health and pregnancy, and identifying an initial priority for developing a focused competitive CIHR catalyst grant proposal. The meeting will be an opportunity for invitees to review preliminary data on the issue from a Vancouver island Health Authority perspective and to become familiar with existing oral health initiatives related to pregnancy within the province of British Columbia. Invitees will represent the health system at community, health authority and provincial levels for maternal, primary and oral health care and academic researchers in the fields of dentistry, nursing and health economics.
