PRESS RELEASE
for the Scientific Community

Time-sensitive Announcement – Québec-Europe Call for Proposals on Neurodegenerative Disease Biomarkers (JPND)

July 5, 2011 – The FRSQ recently joined a European call for proposals of the Joint Programme in Neurodegenerative Diseases (JPND) to fund international research projects on the development and optimization of neurodegenerative disease biomarkers. More specifically, the initiative aims to coordinate biomarker use in clinical trial centres.

The call for proposals was launched on May 16th, 2011, prior to the official inclusion of the FRSQ as a partner organisation and applications must be submitted by September 5th , 2011.

Despite this delay and in consideration of the outstanding neurodegenerative research community in Québec, the FRSQ chose to seize this opportunity and encourage local investigators to participate in the call. Quebec researchers are therefore encouraged to contact their European collaborators to launch a project or to join a team that is in the process of preparing an application.

Each project must be presented by a team of researchers from at least four of the countries participating in this initiative. Each researcher must obtain funding from his/her funding agency under its terms and conditions.

Québec and 20 European countries are participating in this call for proposals.  The FRSQ will support up to 2-3 projects to a maximum of $80 000/year per project. 

Further details on the call for proposals and participating agencies are available on the Web site of the “Joint Programme in Neurodegenerative Diseases - Transnational call for optimisation of biomarkers and harmonisation of their use » at :
http://www.neurodegenerationresearch.eu/index.php?id=145

For more information, contact FRSQ Program Manager Nathalie Champagne at: nchampagne@frsq.gouv.qc.ca.

To Ensure that Quebec gets the most out of Personalized Healthcare

Québec’s personalized health care (PHC) strategy is a mobilizing initiative that was introduced in 2010 by the province’s life sciences and health technologies (LSHT) sector. It is an exceedingly promising project for Québecers, Québec’s LSHT sector and the Québec government.

PHC will constitute a significant paradigm shift in the advancement of the practice of medicine and health care. It is based on greater knowledge of individuals and their genetic and physiological profiles as well as their environments, socio-economic statuses, behaviours and medical histories to determine tailored therapeutic and preventive solutions.

This initiative is especially significant since it comes at a time when the private LSHT sector is drawing on new development models that are increasingly focused on partnerships and the externalization of the investigative process. The implementation of the strategy will therefore prove to be a major asset for Québec.

CALL FOR PAPERS - MENTAL HEALTH PROMOTION: POPULATION HEALTH PERSPECTIVE
Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
An Interdisciplinary Journal

The Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health (CJCMH) is an interdisciplinary publication devoted to sharing information on the mental well-being of Canadians and their communities. CJCMH invites submissions to a special issue sponsored by the Canadian Population Health Initiative of the Canadian Institute for Health Information. The special issue will be dedicated to mental health promotion from a population health perspective, with particular emphasis on equity and the role of social determinants of health. We hope to elicit papers that explore a variety of research and practice-based perspectives from a range of disciplines, and from health and social care professionals, mental health policy and decision-makers, and academic researchers.  Papers may address:
 
·         Links between social factors (such as employment, life balance, or the social environment) and mental well-being
·         Risk and protective factors linked to the prevention of mental illness and the promotion of mental health
·         Policy initiatives and reforms that improve mental health outcomes, services and access to resources
·         Evaluation of systems change interventions
·         Innovative strategies and programs addressing issues of equity in mental health promotion
·         Mental health promotion programs conducted in community and/or health system settings
·         Mental health promotion programs aimed at vulnerable populations
·         The challenges of evaluation: how to evaluate, what to evaluate, and indicators related to mental health promotion
