Who Are We?
• CIHC-ResearchNet is a Sub-Committee of the
Research and Evaluation (R&E) Committee of
the Canadian Interprofessional Health
Collaborative (CIHC)
• CIHC is a national hub for interprofessional
education and collaboration in healthcare
practice and patient-centred care
www.cihc.ca
Vision
A National Interprofessional Health Research Network of:
 Health program students,
 Faculty/Educators,
 Researchers,
 Clinicians/ Practitioners,
 Administrators, and
 Organizational leaders
engaged in collaborative research and knowledge translation
to advance Interprofessional Education and Practice (IPE&P).
www.cihc.ca
Goals
• To build national capacity for and facilitate IPE&P
research
• To provide a forum for networking, discussion,
information exchange, and research
• To foster new, and enhance existing, interprofessional
collaborations among and between those who are
conducting/funding IP research studies
• To foster the development of IECPCP by providing a
vehicle for promoting the research-based evidence
for best-practice IPE&P
www.cihc.ca
Why CIHC-ResearchNet?
CIHC-ResearchNet members are integral to a network of
researchers in IPE&P aimed at fostering:
 Access to IP researchers/experts for advice and
mentorship
 New collaborative partnerships and research
opportunities
 Timely knowledge exchange, dissemination and
translation
 Awareness of national and jurisdictional developments
in IPE&P

Group Discussion ; Table 2
• What do you see as potential issues/
challenges of a national forum to
support work encompassing
interprofessionality?
• What are some possible strategies to
address the issues/challenges
described above?

Network Development
Strategic Plan
The creation of CIHC-ResearchNet will involve 3
interrelated phases—formative, evolving, and maturing.
• Phase 1- Formative: Strategic plan, surveys, database and
website development - 1 year
• Phase 2- Evolving: Network promotion: nationally,
internationally, and beyond healthcare; knowledge exchange &
dissemination - 1 year
• Phase 3: Maturing: Establishment of local chapters,
collaborative research projects, hub of information on research
in IPE&P – 6 months to 1 year
www.cihc.ca
Phase 1-Formative
Step A: Preliminary Network Structure
• Development a Strategic Plan for each phase of the
network
– Actions:
• Environmental scan; SWOTs analysis (SWOTs is an acronym for
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats).
– Determining internal strengths and weaknesses
– Determining external opportunities and threats
» Assessing what resources are available and how any existing
gaps can be bridged
» Identifying the impact of any relevant constraints to the
planning process itself (time, money, people availability)
• Creating an action plan
– Who do what, when and how
www.cihc.ca
Phase 1-Formative
Step B: Survey
• Obtaining some core information about IPE/IPP research in
Canada
• Core Required Information Includes:
• the numbers of researchers (along with their contact information if possible)
• their research areas of interest
• their source of funding
– Actions:
• Connection with IP Offices
– Obtaining information about students (under/graduate, post-doctoral) and
faculty/educators who are conducting (or willing to conduct) research on IPE/IPP
• Connection with CIHC Mainstream
– Obtaining information about clinician/practitioners, administrators, and
organizational leaders who are conducting research on IPE/IPP
• Connection with NaHSSA
– Obtaining information about students who are conducting research on IPE/IPP
www.cihc.ca
Phase 1- Formative
Step C: Database
• Creating an initial database
– Actions:
• Connection with the stakeholders
– Membership with CIHC-ResearchNet
• Develop a database structure
www.cihc.ca
Phase 2- Evolving
• Step A: National and International CIHCResearchNet Promotion
• Step B: Expanding the network within and
beyond the health institution/agencies
• Step C: knowledge exchange &
dissemination
www.cihc.ca
Phase 3- Maturing
• Step A: Establishment of local chapters,
collaborative research projects
• Step B: Hub of information on research in IPE&P
• Step C: Interagency Connection
– Connection with local/provincial/national
health and social policymakers and decisionmakers

Where Are We At Right Now?
CIHC-ResearchNet is in its first phase of network
formation.
• The CIHC-ResearchNet working group is well
organized and meets regularly through monthly
teleconferences
• We continue to administer surveys to academic
and health service delivery organizations as a
means of gathering more information about their
research endeavours and interests in joining the
CIHC-ResearchNet
