RESEARCHERS, PATIENTS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, PRACTITIONERS, AND EDUCATORS WORKING
TOGETHER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND LYME DISEASE AND ITS IMPACT ON CANADIANS.








LYME DISEASE

Lyme disease (LD) is an emerging serious and preventable microbial threat that
is now the most common tick-borne illness in Canada. Many critical knowledge
gaps exist in Canada including: conflicting views on the natural history of
disease, including the impact that LD strains have on the effectiveness of
current diagnostic tests and on disease clinical presentation and patient
outcomes, and lack of evidence on prevention/intervention strategies to reduce
risk and long-term sequelae. Further, training and education of healthcare
providers (HCP) is required to improve awareness and understanding of LD.




THE RESEARCH NETWORK

In response to the CIHR call to create a Canadian LD Research Network we are
proposing a multidisciplinary, patient-centered research program, from discovery
to implementation, with the ultimate vision of reducing the impact of LD on the
health of Canadians. The Network will integrate researchers, patients, HCPs,
public health & non-researcher stakeholders into the planning, advisory, and
oversight capacities of all research activities to create short and long-term
outcomes that are specific, measurable, accountable and transparent. Solutions
and strategies will be developed by facilitating engagement across stakeholder
groups. Patient engagement will be guided by provincial Strategy for Patient
Oriented-Research (SPOR) units and patient/citizen engagement experts. Training
and development of highly qualified personnel will be integrated across all
research areas. We will accomplish our vision by creating foundational
resources and spearheading new research initiatives.
