Is your organization interested in becoming a trial partner site to test the latest aging and brain health innovations?
Do you have access to an aging population who would be interested in pilot testing some of the most promising innovations in the aging and brain health sector?
If so, then the Canadian Centre for Aging and Brain Health Innovation (CC-ABHI) invites interested seniors’ care and other health service organizations to submit an Expression of Interest to act as a trial partner site for its Industry Innovation Partnership Program (i2p2). Trial partners will have an opportunity to gain early access to new innovative solutions in the aging and brain health sector for testing and validation!
Trial partners must be a seniors’ care or other health service organization in Canada, or a network partner of CC-ABHI in the United States. At least one of the project participants, either the applicant company or the trial partner site, must be located in Canada.
About the Industry Innovation Partnership Program
i2p2 aims to bridge the gap between companies with innovative solutions and seniors’ care institutions interested in evaluating new approaches to key healthcare delivery challenges that they are facing. The program supports the evaluation of mature-stage products and services in real-life clinical and home environments. Companies can apply for up to $600,000 (CAD) from CC-ABHI to support up to 50% of eligible project costs. Funding will be provided directly to trial partners to administer and oversee the pilot testing. All projects must be completed within a 6 to 18 month period. Funding can go towards such costs as:
- Backfilling clinical staff on the pilot test unit
- Hiring a project manager
- Relevant training, consulting costs
- Technology resources
If you are interested in becoming a trial partner site, please respond with an Expression of Interest by February 17, 2017 to indicate that your organization is interested in participating in this brokering process.
