Description: |
Knowledge syntheses are the cornerstone of knowledge translation. They interpret vast libraries of scientific literature into knowledge that is reliable, relevant and readable for knowledge users. Syntheses are comprehensive and apply scientific methods to literature analysis which minimizes the risk of bias and error that may accompany single studies, so health policy and practice decisions are less likely to be based on insufficient or premature evidence. Syntheses are also a means to integrate established literature with other forms of knowledge, to map the state of current knowledge on a topic, revealing to knowledge users where there is or is not strong evidence to inform their decisions, or to guide researchers to new areas of research. In Canada, the dramatic and increasing number of overdoses and deaths related to the use of opioids is a national public health crisis. The Government of Canada is committed to tackling this crisis and has emphasized the need for a strong evidence base through the Canadian Drugs and Substances Strategy (CDSS), and the Joint Statement of Action to Address the Opioid Crisis. This funding opportunity will support expedited knowledge synthesis grants to rapidly inform policies on opioids related to one or more pillars of CDSS (i.e. prevention, treatment, harm reduction and enforcement). |
