SPOTLIGHT ON RESEARCH Webinar Series
Exploring partnership-driven, outcomes-focused research!
Our ongoing webinar series, Spotlight on Research, highlights the important work being conducted by the researchers and community leaders who are recipients of our partnership-driven grants.
Our goal: help mobilize and share the knowledge they are creating to improve the lives of Canadians across the country. MHRC collaborates with like-minded organizations to advance research projects that are delivered in partnership with people with lived experience and that have the potential for deep impact.
Our joint projects are led by Canada’s most brilliant researchers, including co-principal investigators from academia, and from community and frontline settings, to help bridge the gap between research and practice.
