• The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) New Emerging Team (NET) program was designed to provide 5 years of support for the creation of new teams or the development of existing teams of investigators conducting collaborative multidisciplinary research in identified areas of focus. A NET group at the University of Saskatchewan was funded under the Cognitive Impairment in Aging focus for a project titled Strategies to Improve the Care of Persons with Dementia in Rural and Remote Areas. In this article we describe the research program developed by the team and implemented during the first year of our mandate.
