Chronic Pain Centre of Excellence- Capacity Building Initiative (CBI)

The CPCoE has created Capacity Building Initiatives (CBIs) to support research in fields related to Veterans' chronic pain. The CBIs were created to support individual students completing research at the Master's or doctoral level. The aim of the CBI program is to support and increase the number of researchers whose research is relevant to Veterans living with chronic pain. This investment in evidence generation will help to deepen the field of research and will provide critical support to the next generation of researchers in the field. Candidates must be registered in a Master's or Doctoral program at a recognized Canadian university and propose supervised research in chronic pain with a focus on Canadian Armed Forces Veterans that is relevant to the CPCoE Vision and Mission. The program provides substantial financial support for graduate students conducting research that will benefit Canadian veterans suffering from chronic pain.
