Quality in Primary Healthcare Seminar Series
Understanding gestational weight gain through the lens of the PCCM Framework
Excess gestational weight gain is associated with a number of adverse outcomes for mothers and their offspring in the prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum periods. This seminar will explore gestational weight gain through the lens of the Patient-Centred Clinical Method Framework.
Lunch and Learn
Why is meaningful community engagement in research so important… and challenging?
We invite you to a “lunch and learn” on community engagement and research. Participants at this lunch and learn will have the opportunity to ask questions about the opportunities and challenges associates with community engagement in research and to discuss best practices.
2016 Funding Opportunities
Funding opportunities available specifically for members of BRIC NS.
Comparative Program and Policy Analysis Grant
This funding opportunity focuses on two areas: 1) Comparative policy analyses across different provincial provincial/territorial health system contexts and related health outcomes and 2) comparative analysis of programmatic innovations in health care delivery that could scale to a system level.

Webinar – Intro to BRIC NS
BRIC NS is part of the pan-Canadian SPOR Network in Primary and Integrated Health Care Innovations, a network of networks with representation from across the country. With foundations in community-based primary healthcare, BRIC NS is creating partnerships within and across sectors of healthcare (e.g public health, primary healthcare, secondary, tertiary, home and long-term care) as well as outside of the health sector (e.g education, housing, social services) to improve individual and population health, health equity and health system outcomes.
Project Incubator – Personal Health Record provincial roll-out
Project Incubators are an opportunity for researchers, clinicians, policy-makers and other stakeholders in Nova Scotia’s primary and integrated healthcare system to come together to discuss research topics and areas of collaboration. This event will include:
- An introduction to BRIC NS
- Information about funding opportunities
- An introduction for the Personal Health Record (PHR) initiative
- An opportunity to ask questions of people involved in the PHR demonstration project
MSSU Travel Award

Knowledge Synthesis Grants
The specific objective of this funding opportunity is to support cross-jurisdictional teams of researchers and knowledge users to produce knowledge syntheses or scoping reviews relevant to the priorities of the pan-Canadian Primary and Integrated Health Care Innovations (PIHCI) Network that will contribute to the use of synthesized evidence in decision-making and practice across multiple jurisdictions.
Introducing: BRIC NS
We are pleased to announce that, effective immediately, NS-PIHCI will be known as BRIC NS. Our new name, Building Research for Integrated Primary Healthcare, reflects our commitment to building a strong foundation for primary and integrated healthcare research in Nova Scotia. We will continue to identify, support and scale up innovative approaches to primary and integrated healthcare – the building blocks for better patient and health system outcomes.
We are excited to move forward as BRIC NS and look forward to creating new partnerships and strengthening our existing ones.
