19 QUEEN ELIZABETH II DIAMOND JUBILEE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Canadian Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Scholarships (QES) is managed through a unique partnership of Universities Canada, the Rideau Hall Foundation (RHF), Community Foundations of Canada (CFC), and Canadian universities. This program is made possible with financial support from the Government of Canada, provincial governments, and the private sector. This prestigious scholarship program is led by Dr. Natalie Riediger, Assistant Professor, Department of Community Health Sciences and MFN CAHR. The program, Promoting international community–university partnerships in global and Indigenous health, is one of thirty–four Canadian universities to manage a QES program, the University of Manitoba having the largest.
This program is managed in partnership with the Center for Global Public Health and the Department of Medical Microbiology. The contributions of the three UofM project partners are supported by program partners in Australia, New Zealand, India, and Kenya as well as our Indigenous partners in Manitoba – Nanaandawewigamig First Nations Health and Social Secretariat of Manitoba, Manitoba Metis Federation, and the Manitoba Inuit Association.
The Queen Elizabeth Scholars will benefit from the University’s sustained partnerships in Kenya and India, as well as the community partners, and strong research ties in Indigenous health research in Australia and New Zealand. The project links these established training programs to facilitate greater cross–cultural learning opportunities for the scholars. The Canadian Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Scholarships will help develop the next generation of innovative leaders and community builders, both locally and globally. Canadian students at the undergraduate and graduate levels will participate in internships or academic study for periods of at least three months in another Commonwealth country. Scholarships are also available to students from our commonwealth partner institutions to visit the University of Manitoba for a semester. All QES–funded students participate in the online short– or for–credit course CHSC 7610 Community Engagement and Program Science taught by Dr. Natalie Riediger. This innovative online course allows students to engage with each other to learn about the value of engagement in research and the many forms of engagement in global and Indigenous settings. Students are challenged to reflect on their position as they embark on their own research and internship placements abroad. If you are interested in applying or want more information, please visit our website or contact the QES coordinator, Monica Cyr at [email protected]

The team sought to find out whether reform strategies should focus on input factors (finding ways to reduce the number of ED visits), throughput factors (related to care strategies in the ED) or Over the past year we released four government deliverables, discussed output factors (e.g., freeing up hospital beds so that ED patients can be below. MCHP researchers lead these projects, with input from clinicians, transferred into hospital sooner). This deliverable has had significant policy makers, and other partners as co–investigators or to advisory media interest regionally and nationally. The co–investigators, including groups. This engagement has enriched the reports we produce. emergency department clinicians, are participating in a Province led task Our researchers are also highly successful in getting grants for their force to look at ways to reduce wait times. own individual programs of research, and they (and their students) have The PATHS Equity for Children (Pathways to Health and Social Equity) published 69 publications this year (19 as first author) and contributed to Program of Research more than 75 presentations (50 as first author/presenter). The five–year CIHR–funded PATHS program of research, led by Supportive Housing for Seniors: Reform Implications for Manitoba’s Drs. Patricia Martens and Marni Brownell, concluded in 2017. This Older Adult Continuum of Care research program aimed to understand ‘what works’ to reduce inequity The older adult care continuum is generally comprised of home care in children’s health outcomes. Research teams evaluated 12 different services, community–based supportive housing, and personal care interventions to determine their impact on: homes (PCHs).

MCHP continued its practice of hosting a number of interactive workshop days with staff of key organizations in Manitoba. These Social media and publication tools workshops allow detailed discussion of research findings and discussions Over the past two years, MCHP has been about their potential implications and application. This year, MCHP promoting the release of its government hosted its 22nd RHA Workshop Day and its 12th Winnipeg Regional research reports using a range of social Health Authority workshop day. Next year MCHP plans to merge its media and publication tools. This includes stakeholder workshops into a single two–day conference. The first step making short video clips of researchers towards this goal was the merging of ‘Government Day’ with ‘Manitoba talking about their research uploaded to Health Day’ in November 2016. Attendees fed back that they appreciated youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/ the opportunity to talk to staff from other departments about common UC94ZiHRS2jLpNh–0gMWfH0Q interests, and the experience of this day is supporting planning for the new two–day ‘Evidence to Action’ event in September 2017 Public and media friendly infographics are shared through press briefings and Twitter. The Evidence Network of Canadian Health Policy, led by Noralou Roos, continues to provide media ready materials and opinion pieces that are taken up by national news outlets. Commonly known as EvidenceNetwork.ca, is an evolving Canadian healthcare resource designed with the needs of journalists in mind. The project was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and Research Manitoba, with contributions from the George and Fay Yee Centre for Healthcare Innovation and Manitoba Centre for Health Policy. EvidenceNetwork.ca links journalists with over 80 health policy experts to provide access to credible, evidence–based information, and creates original OpEds, articles, infographics, posters, and videos on health policy topics for publication in the mainstream media. Since 2011, EvidenceNetwork.ca has provided more than 2000 original media articles on health policy topics for publication in the mainstream media, regional, and niche media outlets in English and French. In March 2017, EvidenceNetwork.ca welcomed Dr. Shannon Sampert, Associate Professor in the Political Science Department at the University of Winnipeg as its new Director and Editor in Chief. MCHP continues play a big part in the network, supporting the platform, and contributing as content experts and writers.

Key factors that have contributed to successes of the past 15 years range from country actions to global partnerships, funding increases, and scale-up of new interventions. The SDGs present a comprehensive and ambitious 2030 agenda for people and the planet. Major challenges for the health-related SDGs include the unfinished MDG agenda with more ambitious and extended targets, reforming and strengthening health systems for universal health coverage, and dealing with the environmental and other determinants of health. This has multiple strategic implications for global public health, including research, monitoring, and evaluation.
