Rapid Impact Platform Program (RIPP)
Research Programs
2010-12 Rapid Impact Platform Program
The 2010-12 Rapid Impact Platform Program (RIPP) is the first phase of CAN's Platform Program. The aim of the RIPP is to fund the creation of tangible outputs (e.g. consensus statements, products, resources, and services) that will facilitate research. Specifically, RIPPs are targeted at improving the research process and the sharing of research procedures with the research community. The development of platforms is intended to help CAN researchers harness existing expertise within the network to avoid "reinventing the wheel" through individual research efforts.
The 2010-2012 RIPP is intended to support initiatives that can be quickly implemented and utilized by CAN researchers. Accordingly, it will focus on supporting initiatives that involve bringing experts together (for example, in workshops and functional groups that would establish practice guidelines; standardize research processes or outcome measures; or assemble compendiums of knowledge). Successful RIPP initiatives will create tangible products (e.g. white papers, standard operating procedures/guidelines and/or resources) and bring direct research value to a significant number of CAN investigators. The RIPP is not aimed at creating products and services for patients or healthcare providers.
Funding
- CAN will fund up to six platform initiatives, with a maximum budget of $80,000 per initiative.
- Applications will be reviewed for eligibility, and future competitions will be announced until a total of six awards are filled.
