BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pain in @entity1 Health ( @entity158 ) is a transdisciplinary, international research training consortium. @entity158 has been funded since 2002 as a Strategic Training Initiative in Health Research of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, with contributions from other funding partners and the founding participation of five Canadian universities. The goal of @entity158 has been to create a community of scholars in @entity158 to improve @entity1 health outcomes. METHODS: Quantitative analyses enumerated @entity158 faculty, trainees, training activities and scientific outputs. Interviews with @entity158 stakeholders were analyzed using qualitative methods capturing perceptions of the program's strengths, limitations, and opportunities for development and sustainability. RESULTS: @entity158 has supported 218 trainee members from 2002 through 2013, from 14 countries and more than 16 disciplines. The faculty at the end of 2013 comprised nine co-principal investigators, 14 Canadian coinvestigators, and 28 Canadian and international collaborators. Trainee members published 697 peer-reviewed journal articles on @entity158 through 2013, among other research dissemination activities including conference presentations and webinars. Networks have been established between new and established researchers across Canada and in 13 other countries. Perceptions from stakeholders commended @entity158 for its positive impact on the development of @entity158 researchers. Stakeholders emphasized skills and abilities gained through @entity158 , the perceived impact of @entity158 training on this research field, and considerations for future training in developing researchers in @entity158 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity158 has been successfully developing highly qualified health research personnel within a Canadian and international community of @entity158 scholarship.
