YEAR IN REVIEW 2021-22

Over the past 12 years, Kids Brain Health Network has established a track record for generating relevant knowledge—and putting it to work. But even as we celebrate our successes, we’re keeping our eyes on the path ahead. Over the next five years, the network intends to pursue three complementary objectives:

Improve outcomes for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities and their families

by selecting and supporting research projects that meet their needs. These will include projects that are developing new solutions, projects that bridge gaps between innovation and implementation, and projects that increase the accessibility of solutions to vulnerable and underserved people.

Accelerate the real-world impact of research innovations

by building capacity within KBHN to support their scale and spread. Each project will develop an implementation or commercialization plan with the help of network-sponsored resources such as workshops, socioeconomic-impact evaluation services and an innovation advisory council.

Strengthen Canada’s research ecosystem

by providing inclusive training programs for the next generation of researchers, family and community members, frontline practitioners and healthcare providers. Learning opportunities will extend beyond traditional academic training to include entrepreneurship, implementation science and family engagement in research.

We welcome supporters and partners to join us!
