This report showcases the many accomplishments of the MCNHR
and its members since our last report in February 2014. The 24
pages it took to produce this report is a testament to the hard work
of so many involved in the MCNHR from our members to our staff.
The last few months have been a time of renewal and change with
MCNHR staffing. We were sad to say good-bye to our administrative secretary, Lisa-Wolfe Ulrich, but are happy to welcome Lisa
Andrade into this role. We are also pleased to welcome Hannah
Curtis, Veronika Zot and Caitlyn Farr as our summer students. Our
staff has been the backbone of a number of MCNHR activities including our annual Researcher in Residence Event, the MCNHR/
WRHA Collaborative Research Day and our annual grant competition, all of which are highlighted in this report.
We are very pleased to report that with the generous support of the
Faculty of Nursing Endowment Fund and other sources of funding,
we were able to fund a record number of graduate students. A total
of seven graduate students received research funding for their thesis or dissertation projects in the MCNHR annual grant competition
in the Spring. We also want to thank all the MCNHR members who
volunteered to serve as MCNHR research grant reviewers on our
four research grant panels.
The MCNHR is working on three new initiatives: 1.) an application
to become a Joanna Briggs Institute Collaborating Centre for Evidence Reviews 2.) a new strategic research plan for the MCNHR
3.) new strategies to future advance collaborative partnerships including launching a new Collaborations Database and a Collaborative Health Research for our annual MCNHR grant competition.
We hope to continue to make progress on these areas in the near
future!

MCNHR/WRHA Collaborative Research Day 2014
On May 23, 2014, the MCNHR and WRHA hosted a Research Day on Building Successful Research Partnerships with over 90 clinicians, managers, researchers and
students in attendance. The Research Day sponsored by
the Manitoba Centre for Nursing and Health Research
(MCNHR), Faculty of Nursing, University of Manitoba,
and the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WHRA) was
held at the Faculty of Nursing, University of Manitoba.
The day began with opening remarks from Dr. Beverly
O’Connell, Dean, Faculty of Nursing and Krista Williams,
Left to Right:
Dr. Beverly O'Connell , Dr. Brenda Roe, Dr. Diana on behalf of Winnipeg Regional Health Authority Nursing
Clarke
Leadership, and a keynote presentation from Dr. Brenda
Roe, the 2014 Dr. Helen Preston Glass Researcher in
Residence. Dr. Roe delivered an engaging presentation on Continence Care: An Evidence Synthesis of Cochrane Reviews on bladder training and toileting programmes. The day continued with
brief oral presentations on research and quality improvements projects that involved successful partnerships and
collaborative teams. The concurrent sessions featured a
total of 17 collaborative projects. Presenters rose to the
challenge of sharing how their project exemplified building a
successful partnership in only 6 minutes and 3 PowerPoint
slides. The format of the brief presentations proved remarkably successful: Presenters used incredible energy and excitement to highlight the main aspects of their project.
The research day also included a poster session showcasing research and quality improvement projects across Manitoba and provided ample opportunity
for networking, dialogue and exchange. The afternoon of the Collaborative Research Day focused
on “Seeding Ideas for Collaborative Teams” which provided an exciting opportunity to gather valuable feedback and input into an research, quality improvement or clinical issue that is at the “idea”
stage. Following the presentations of all “Seeding Ideas”,
presenters were asked to lead a roundtable discussion on
the “idea” to further develop the idea and to identify next
steps. The day concluded with presenters/leaders reporting back of highlights from the round table discussions,
followed by concluding remarks. A huge thank-you to all
our generous sponsors, planning committee members,
volunteers, presenters and attendees without which we
would have been able to make the MCNHR and WRHA
Research Day an overwhelming success.

MCNHR Research Strategic Planning
The Manitoba Centre for Nursing and Health Research (MCNHR) is updating its current
strategic research plan which was developed in 2008, so that as we move forward, we are
building on our existing strengths and developing new areas of excellence. As part of the
strategic planning process, we are consulting widely with our key stakeholders and invite
you to provide comments and input into the following questions: What does the MCNHR
do best? What makes the MCNHR unique? What should the MCNHR focus on, continue
to do, or do differently as we look into the future? An online survey with a link to these
questions has been sent out to all MCNHR stakeholders including Research and Professional affiliates and graduate students. The MCNHR is establishing a strategic planning
working group to review stakeholder feedback and assist in creating a new vision and
plan for the future. If you are interested in being part of the MCNHR strategic planning
