CANADIAN GERIATRICS JOURNAL, VOLUME 22, ISSUE 2, JUNE 2019 The Canadian Frailty Network (CFN) was established in 2012 under the Canadian Networks of Centers of Excellence (NCE) program. The goal of the NCE Program is to mobilize Canada’s research talent in the academic, private, public, and not-for-profit sectors, and apply it to the task of developing the economy and improving the quality of life of Canadians. As a national network, CFN is dedicated to improving the lives of older adults living with frailty and their family/friend caregivers. We do this by increasing frailty recognition and assessment, increasing evidence for decision-making, advancing evidence-based changes to care, and engaging with older adults and caregivers. We are a multi-disciplinary network, nurturing productive multi-sectoral partnerships and collaborations, and always including patients, families, and caregivers. A core part of our mandate from NCE is to provide training for the next generation of researchers, health-care practitioners, and policy-makers engaged in care for older Canadians living with frailty. Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP) enter the CFN Training Program as part of our Summer Student Award Program, our one-year Interdisciplinary Fellowship Program, or as research trainees attached to a project that has received CFN funding. Our goal is to develop Highly Qualified Personnel with the disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary skills, experiences, and attitudes necessary to provide creative solutions for issues facing older adults living with frailty and their family/ friend caregivers. The program provides HQP with unique educational experiences that deepen appreciation for holistic care, increase exposure to interdisciplinary research through knowledge creation and translation projects, and advance intellectual and professional development. One of the highlights of our training program is the opportunity our HQP have to disseminate their research to national and international experts on frailty. At the CFN 2018 National Conference—“Improving Frailty Care Benefits Everyone”—held in Toronto, September 20–21, all 2017 and 2018 HQP had the opportunity to present posters which showcased their projects to researchers, practitioners, educators, policy-makers, and advocates, as well as to citizen partners engaged in CFN research projects. HQP submitted abstracts for their posters which were vetted and returned with commentary. The HQP had the opportunity to make revisions before making a final abstract submission. This year we had strong turnout from our HQP, in numbers and in poster quality, making our judges’ job incredibly difficult. Posters were divided into 3 categories, Fellowship submissions, Summer Student Award submissions, and submissions from HQP attached to a CFN-funded research project. This ensured that our undergraduate students would not be competing against graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The winners from each category represent the outstanding scholarly contributions to frailty research being undertaken by our HQP, and are representative of the breadth of topics with which they engage:
