The BC SUPPORT Unit is one of eleven SUPPORT Units established across the country as part of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR). Our BC SUPPORT Unit helps researchers within the Vancouver Island region to streamline and increase their ‘patient-oriented research’ studies. This course is intended to increase patient engagement in research roles beyond the traditional "study participant" role.
