CCA is currently searching a Research and Evaluation Scientific Lead (SL) to join our amazing team. Reporting to the Executive Director of the Supportive Care Services and Patient Experience (SCSPE) the SL will nurture and lead an innovative, provincial, multidisciplinary applied research program with a with a focus on enhancing operational capacity for person-centred care delivery across CCA. The SL will engage different types of research, led by different Supportive Care, Applied Research and Palliative Research teams already collaborating across the portfolio. You will foster accountability and leadership oversight to ensure research on areas of particular interest to the operational program occurs and processes to move relevant findings to practice are in place. Crucially, you will build on the strengths of this solid research foundation, design and implement a research to practice pipeline implementing an effective model to advance quality, research, and innovation within SCSPE.

The accountabilities will span the development of a Research and Evaluation framework that will outline how operational leaders, clinicians/practitioners, patients/families and researchers will collaborate to identify knowledge gaps related to the provision of supportive care and improving the patient experience, determine approaches for filling those gaps (maybe with a combination of synthesizing existing information and doing/leading studies if evidence does not exist), identify and work with academic and clinical partners to conduct research and evaluation across the supportive care domains that is aligned with the needs of CCA, lead teams to seek and obtain external funding, support the integration of research into practice and to present research findings and data analysis in a way that can be used by decision makers and operational leaders.
