<div class="">Dear LingAnth list members, </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
For almost a decade Health Canada has been funding important and innovative research on linguistic issues in healthcare provision, through HCALM (Health Care Access for Linguistic Minorities) Network – an interdisciplinary and interinstitutional community of
researchers. The project comprises the research capacity of the larger Training and Retention of Health Professionals Project (TRHP), based at the Institute for Health and Social Policy at McGill University.<br class="">
<br class="">
The HCALM Network issues regularly a call for proposals for research projects whose focus is to investigate the relationship between language and access to health care or social services. Research themes include but are not limited to the following:<br class="">
<br class="">
<div class=""><b class="">- Economics of language in health care<br class="">
<br class="">
</b></div>
<div class=""><b class="">- Cultural and linguistic competency<br class="">
<br class="">
</b></div>
<div class=""><b class="">- Health or social inequalities</b></div>
<div class=""><b class=""><br class="">
</b></div>
<div class=""><b class="">- Health geography and spatial statistics</b></div>
<div class=""><b class=""><br class="">
</b></div>
<div class=""><b class="">- Retention of health professionals in remote or rural communities</b></div>
<div class=""><b class=""><br class="">
</b></div>
<div class=""><b class="">- Second language instruction<br class="">
<br class="">
</b></div>
<div class=""><b class="">- Linguistic minorities in medical education and practice<br class="">
<br class="">
</b></div>
<div class=""><b class="">- L2 capacity creation and development among health professionals</b><br class="">
<br class="">
Thematic priority area: In the 2019-2020 funding competition, the topic of <b class="">"Language-Aware Healthcare: Challenges, Opportunities, Horizons"</b> has been identified as a thematic priority area. The topic is broadly construed, and eligible proposals
may consider it from a variety of theoretical, conceptual and methodological perspectives.<br class="">
<br class="">
Proposals must focus on access to health care for linguistic minorities in Quebec. Researchers may propose a study on any of the aforementioned research themes including comparative studies. In addition, proposals for studies aiming to measure the cost of language
barriers in Quebec's health and social services system are encouraged. <b class="">
Collaborative projects with academic institutions outside Quebec (including outside Canada) are eligible, provided that at least one of the Principal Investigators is based at a Quebec university, and that the funds are managed and disbursed by a Quebec university.</b></div>
