Description:

To contribute to the creation, dissemination and use of health-related knowledge, and to help develop and maintain Canadian health research capacity, by supporting original, high quality projects proposed and conducted by individual researchers or groups

to enhance the capacity of knowledge users to apply research evidence to their decisions on approaches1 - products, programs, services, and health system models - that contribute to improved Mobility in Aging. A Demonstration project is designed to evaluate the implementation of an evidence-based approach (practice, tool, program, service, policy or product)2 as a viable solution to a known problem, and is aimed at assessing the merits of widespread use of such an approach.At the outcome, a Demonstration project should contribute to the understanding of: how, why and for whom does an approach work (or not); the effectiveness and value-added of the approach compared to the status quo and/or related approaches; and the feasibility and cost-benefit of adopting the approach in the current or new jurisdiction. The research evidence should facilitate informed decisions on the initiation, continuation, revision or discontinuation of the specific approach.
