This program requires researchers to rely on existing datasets to address the research question they seek to answer. Limited collection of new data is allowed in this program if it will enhance the utility of the project outcomes to improve quality in care facilities.

The Another Look grant program will now allow researchers to allocate some grant funds to the collection of new data if it will enhance the utility of the project outcomes for improving quality of care. Applicants will be asked to provide more extensive information on the role of the stakeholders with whom they will be collaborating on the project. The external review committee evaluating letters of intent and applications to this program will include experts from both the academic and practice and policy communities.
Researchers applying for this grant must include a stakeholder in the care delivery or policy arena with whom they will collaborate and who is willing to work with the researcher to develop products such as infographics, tool kits or training materials that are based on the research findings and could be used by those stakeholders to improve quality of care or quality of life for residents in long term care.
