Since its inception in 2012, the World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH) has brought together leaders from the global community of healthcare, policymaking, innovation and care provision to tackle some of the world’s most urgent healthcare challenges. In recent years and in light of the pandemic, it has become increasingly clear that nurses play an essential role in the healthcare ecosystem and need to be more actively involved in research and policymaking if we are to meet these challenges.

ABOUT UCQ:
Since its inception in 2007, the University of Calgary in Qatar (UCQ) has been enriching health and wellness in Qatar by educating and developing world-class nurses.
Our program exemplifies a vision of modern nursing that develops graduates who deliver evidence-based health care. Our graduates are competent, strong critical thinkers and change agents, whose focus is the family and community. Our nursing students and graduates practice in the community, primary health centres, clinics and schools and in acute care hospitals.
Our program uses teaching methods, science, and research that prepares nurses to meet the demands of a new health system and new roles. By exemplifying our core values of respect, integrity, collaboration and equity, UCQ engages the community in activities designed to improve health outcomes and health care delivery.

We will be awarding two grants for a value of up to $7,500 each, to be used to fund new research projects. One grant will be reserved for research undertaken and published in Arabic. More information can be found in the Funding Guidelines below.
WISH will also aim to connect junior researchers with more experienced academics/researchers to increase the likelihood of publication of results in a peer-reviewed journal. Authorship attribution will be discussed directly with any contributors/advisors.
