Objective
The Transforming Health with Integrated Care (THINC) Implementation Science Team (IST) Grants funding opportunity focuses on improving our understanding of how to implement, evaluate, adapt, and/or spread/scale evidence-informed integrated care policies and interventions that encompass intersectoral collaborations within and/or beyond the formal health care delivery system in order to advance the Quadruple Aim and health equity (sometimes known as the Quintuple Aim).
This funding opportunity is expected to:
- Identify evidence-informed, actionable solutions: Generate actionable evidence on promising integrated care policies and/or delivery system interventions that can advance any/all of the Quadruple Aim goals and health equity.
- Advance the field of implementation science: Advance the evidence base on how to implement, evaluate, adapt, and spread evidence-informed, equitable integrated care policies and interventions across different health system and population contexts.
- Build capacity: Develop human (e.g., diverse and inclusive engagement of providers, patients, decision-makers, trainees, early career researchers) and organizational capacity (e.g., embedded research, rapid learning and improvement, organizational readiness) for actionable evidence on implementation, evaluation, and/or spread and scale of integrated care policies and interventions.
- Spark collaborations: Build strong interdisciplinary, multi-sectoral collaborations and partnerships among researchers, policy makers, decision makers, healthcare providers, patients, the public, and communities interested in advancing transformative integrated care.
- Foster knowledge mobilization and impact: Foster knowledge mobilization throughout the research process to inform the local adaptation, implementation and adoption of integrated care policies and interventions.

York University researchers are reminded that all applications for external research funding, including Letters of Intent, must be reviewed and approved by the Office of Research Services before they are submitted to the granting agency. For internal approval, the application must be accompanied by a completed ORS Checklist, which requires the Dean’s signature. Please send the complete application, with the finalized budget and a completed ORS checklist to sciapps@yorku.ca, five days prior to agency deadline.
