Research with community impact

We support community and researchers in partnerships that make a positive difference.

These meaningful relationships take root in:

• justice
• equity
• diversity and inclusion
• honouring Indigenous ways of knowing and being

All partners work together to share and apply knowledge to create sustainable and healthy communities.
