Bariatric Care Team Grants
The Bariatric Care Team Grants were launched and funded by the CIHR Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes in partnership with Alberta Innovates - Health Solutions, Alberta Health Services Obesity, Diabetes and Nutrition Strategic Clinical Network, Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, Fonds de recherche du Québec–Santé and the Canadian Obesity Network. The objectives of these grants are to advance comparative health services research in bariatric care to improve the treatment of obesity across the continuum of care and the lifespan, and to accelerate research to better understand the mechanisms underlying the effects of bariatric procedures and weight loss. This initiative was based on the recommendations from the Developing a Research Agenda to Support Bariatric Care in Canada Workshop and extensive consultation with partners.
