Impacts of Patient-Oriented Pain Research (IPOPR) Project: Evaluating Engagement in the iCanCope with Pain Project

We are conducting an evaluation case study to assess how patient-oriented research principles shaped the iCanCope with Pain project and to understand the uptake, scale and spread of research results and outputs to knowledge users to understand how the project contributed to health system impacts. This work is funded by a CIHR Patient Oriented Research Impact Assessment Operating Grant.
