The Executive Training For Research Application (EXTRA) program: perceptions of the first cohort of fellows.
The Canadian Health Services Research Foundation (CHSRF) and partners have created an innovative training program to support health care executives who use research evidence to inform decision-making. This article describes the Executive Training for Research Application (EXTRA) program and the perceptions of its first cohort of fellows (n = 24). Despite challenges in balancing the time required to participate in this trusting learning environment, which encouraged and supported networking, the fellows were able to develop and apply a considerable knowledge base for evidence-informed decision-making.
