AI Based Application Success Predictor

Although specific criteria differ by funder, the following predictors of success apply to IPC research applications tied to professional association projects or national grant competitions:

✨ 1. Clear Public Health or Healthcare Impact

Research should clearly articulate how results will improve infection outcomes, reduce transmission, or enhance patient and staff safety in real settings (hospitals, LTC homes, community).

Tip: Connect outcomes to measurable targets like reduced HAI rates or improved compliance with core IPC practices.

🪪 2. Rigorous Study Design

Successful IPC proposals typically include:

Well defined objectives and hypotheses

Appropriate surveillance or intervention methods

Clear data sources and analytic plan

Consideration of confounders and evaluation metrics

This reflects the scientific rigor valued across IPC research and aligns with international best practice frameworks (e.g., WHO IPC strategies). World Health Organization

💰 3. Budget Justification & Feasibility

Whether for IPAC Canada project funding or larger PHAC grants, realistic, justified budgets are crucial. Demonstrate why each cost item is essential and how the project can be completed within the timeline and resources available.

Funders look for a team with:

Relevant IPC expertise (epidemiology, public health, clinical microbiology)

Demonstrated experience in infection prevention activities

Capacity to conduct data collection, analysis, and dissemination

🔍 5. Alignment With Funder Priorities

With IPAC Canada project proposals, alignment with organizational improvement goals or member needs is key.
