The Canadian Centre for Aging and Brain Health Innovation (CC-ABHI) recently announced 31 grant recipients who will receive a total of $1.4 million in funding through CC-ABHI’s Spark Program. Projects involving the Ontario Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation (CLRIs) in Long-Term Care (hosted at Baycrest, Bruyère and Schlegel) were among those selected. The CLRIs are proud to be partnered with organizations that are committed to promoting creative solutions in the field of aging.
The Spark Program is an initiative designed to support point-of-care healthcare workers with the development of grassroots ideas to improve brain health and quality of life for older adults. Specific focus areas include: reducing emergency department visits, preventing falls, supporting aging at home, and improving cognitive fitness.
