One-Time Funding Projects

Posted on Jul 1, 2012

Earlier this year, the SSC made up to $5 million available on a one-time basis (i.e. not on-going) to support specialist initiatives and projects.   The SSC sought proposals from specialists and specialist sections detailing how each would use this funding to improve specialist services.  A two-staged process was established to assess the proposals based on criteria created by the SSC.

The SSC received 166 proposals worth $50 million in the Stage 1 process, from which approximately 60 proposals were invited to submit more detailed information in Stage 2.   The scope of proposals ranged considerably but can be categorized as follows: equipment, IT/EMR, allied health providers, new clinics/service delivery, and physician specific projects.

After reviewing the Stage 2 proposals against the criteria, the SSC provided preliminary approval to 13 projects for one-time funding worth approximately $5 million in total.  Please stay tuned for more information and updates on these projects.  The SSC would like to thank all applicants for the time and effort put into all the proposals submitted.

The Specialist Services Committee acknowledges that we work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of many different Indigenous Nations throughout British Columbia.

Acknowledging that we are on the traditional territories of First Nations communities is an expression of cultural humility and involves recognizing our duty and desire to support the provision of culturally safe care to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people in BC.
