Francophone Initiative Zone COFFRE

What are we doing?

To achieve its objectives, COFFRE offers the following services:

1. We provide one-on-one support as an advisory service for OSSU network members, other SPOR entities and those receiving CIHR funding on how to integrate language variables into your project.

2. We act as an intermediary, linking patient partners with research teams seeking to include French-speaking perspectives.

3. We can ensure that your results that include Ontario Francophones are available to a wider audience; this may include validating French-language training modules, data collection tools or frameworks, and also working with authors to develop evidence summaries using existing research documents.
