The Covenant Health Research Centre (CHRC) calls for Letters of Intent for research studies that examine the interaction of faith, spirituality, health and healing.
Over the past 20 years in healthcare research and public discourse there has been a surge of interest in topics related to spirituality and health with an understanding that whole person care involves the body, mind and spirit. Areas of inquiry have included topics such as: the effect of spiritual and religious practices on health outcomes, the spiritual needs of those receiving healthcare, the efficacy of spiritual interventions as part of health promotion and clinical treatment, and the spirituality of healthcare providers.
Covenant Health, Canada's largest Catholic healthcare provider, in collaboration with St. Joseph's College at the University of Alberta, seeks to further this conversation through dedicated research and education in the intersecting fields of faith, spirituality, health and healing.
