The primary goal for this research competition is to develop knowledge about patient safety (also referred to as client safety) that can be helpful in a variety of circumstances in homes and health care organizations across Canada. Research funded will have patient safety as a primary focus. Patient safety is defined as ?the prevention of errors and adverse effects to patients associated with health care? (World Health Organization, 2013).

This funding is open to researchers in disciplines both from within and outside of health sciences disciplines, and who have a demonstrated interest in patient safety. These researchers must hold a PhD in any field, or an MD, or a Masters in a health science field, and be associated with a university or not-for-profit organization that can accept and administer research funds on their behalf. The funding partners will offer $45,000 to one researcher this fiscal year (March 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015).
