平特五不中

The 平特五不中 Practice-based Research Network听(PBRN) was pleased to support research projects during the 2018-2019 academic year. Indeed, as part of the calls for projects of R茅seau-1 Qu茅bec (R-1 QC), the PBRN听supported the submission of :

1. Three projects for the call for protocol development projects, two of which received a grant of 5,000$ dollars听each from R-1 QC听and the 平特五不中 Department of Family Medicine. The winning projects are:
   Screening for iron deficiency, with or without anemia, among vulnerable children 0-5 years old: a feasibility study, directed by Patricia Li and Josiane Cyr
   Facilitators, Barriers and Potential Interventions for Pediatric to Adult Transition from the Perspective of Clients and Clinicians, led by Peter Nugus and Diana Ramos
   
   During the year, both projects benefited from a mentoring process and an online course (PBRN: Introduction to Research and Scholarly Activity). The protocols are thus ready to be submitted on September 30, 2019. They will also be able to apply for the call for research projects on innovations for the year 2019-2020.
