CREST.BD Network receives CIHR grant

The CREST.BD network has secured a Canadian Institutes for Health Research Knowledge to Action (KTA) grant for $200,000. Titled “Like a ship that’s always righting itself: Self-management of bipolar disorder, from evidence to action,” the two-year project will test a variety of ways of sharing knowledge on bipolar disorder self-management with two user groups – people living with bipolar disorder and their healthcare providers.

The KTA research team is led by Dr. Erin Michalak, Associate Professor in the Dept. of Psychiatry. This study will support a new UBC collaboration between CREST.BD and the UBC eHealth Strategy Office, led by Dr. Kendall Ho, Director, eHealth Strategy Office, Faculty of Medicine.
