In doing so, the following will be considered: i) the role of home care agencies in DF service delivery; ii) developing DF as a niche or mainstream program; and iii) adapting DF for rural contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research Team Members<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Katie Aubrecht, PhD, St. Francis Xavier University<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lisette Dansereau, PhD, University of Manitoba<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maggie FitzGerald, PhD, University of Saskatchewan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yeonjung Lee, PhD, University of Calgary<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allison Williams, PhD, McMaster University<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Project Partners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Annette Bridgeman, Department of Health and Community Services, Government of Newfoundland and Labrador<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>John Cabral, Health Service Delivery, Alberta Health (Edmonton)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brie DeMone, Policy and Standards Branch, Manitoba Health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sharon Harper, Health Care Programs and Policy Directorate, Health Canada (Ottawa)\/Sant\u00e9 Canada (Ottawa)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kelly Heisz, SeniorsNL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nadine Henningsen, Canadian Home Care Association<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deborah Simon, Ontario Community Support Association (Toronto)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jacky Sweetnam, Program Design and Implementation, Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care(Ontario)\/Minist\u00e8re de la sant\u00e9 et dessoins de longue dur\u00e9e (Ontario)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>John Young, Independent Living Resource Centre<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Funding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This research is supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, project grant number 426446.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dfresearch.ca\/christinekelly\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/leaf-cihr-colour-portrait-en.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:245px;height:61px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nPerennial Policy Issues in Directly-Funded Home Care in Canada: An Intersectional, Qualitative Study to enhance Social and Health Outcomes (2020-2025) Following on the results of Dr. Kelly&#8217;s earlier research on Directly-Funded (DF) Home Care for Older Adults in Canada, this&hellip;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dfresearch.ca\/christinekelly\/research\/perennial-policy-issues-in-directly-funded-home-care-in-canada\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Perennial Policy Issues in Directly- Funded Home Care in Canada&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":79,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-405","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dfresearch.ca\/christinekelly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dfresearch.ca\/christinekelly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dfresearch.ca\/christinekelly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dfresearch.ca\/christinekelly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dfresearch.ca\/christinekelly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=405"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/dfresearch.ca\/christinekelly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/405\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":682,"href":"https:\/\/dfresearch.ca\/christinekelly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/405\/revisions\/682"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dfresearch.ca\/christinekelly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/79"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dfresearch.ca\/christinekelly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
