Abstract:
The Canadian Health Services Research Foundation (CHSRF) and partners have created an innovative training program to support health care executives who use research evidence to inform decision-making. This article describes the Executive Training for Research Application (EXTRA) program and the perceptions of its first cohort of fellows (n = 24). Despite challenges in balancing the time required to participate in this trusting learning environment, which encouraged and supported networking, the fellows were able to develop and apply a considerable knowledge base for evidence-informed decision-making.
