Partner Linkage Tool for the Operating Grant: Evaluation and Implementation Science for Youth Mental Health
Overview
The Operating Grant: Evaluation and Implementation Science for Youth Mental Health will generate high-quality, actionable evidence to enhance equitable access to quality mental health interventions, services and systems, strengthen their implementation and scalability, and ultimately improve mental health outcomes for youth across Canada. This funding opportunity supports the evaluation and/or implementation science research on youth mental health interventions (i.e., interventions, programs and practices that aim to prevent and/or reduce the symptoms of mental health, substance use and/or neurodevelopmental conditions, including clinic-, school- or community-based, psychological and pharmacological interventions).
This Partner Linkage tool is intended to facilitate connections between a) organizations implementing youth mental health interventions with b) evaluation and implementation science research teams.
The Partner Linkage Tool includes information about research team members and organizations interested in partnering for this funding opportunity and their priorities of interest. This is not a mandatory tool. Information is provided on a volunteer basis and does not confer any advantages in the evaluation and funding of applications.
Are you a research team member or an organization looking for a partner to collaborate with on the Evaluation and Implementation Science Operating Grants? Fill out our Partner Linkage Tool online form. Your entered data and profile will be posted and be publicly available soon. The partner linkage tool will be updated weekly until the application deadline. Please share this tool with anyone you think may be interested in participating in this funding opportunity.
By completing and submitting this form, you are consenting to having your responses posted publicly online in the language of submission (English or French) and that researchers or organizations can potentially contact you to explore interest to partner. You may request to have your information edited or removed at any time by sending a request to support-soutien@cihr-irsc.gc.ca.

I am a psychiatric epidemiologist and has developed a coach-guided personalized depression risk communication program for preventing depression in the general population. The safety and efficacy of the program have been supported by CIHR funded randomized controlled trials. Seeking organizations and colleagues who are interested in implementing and evaluating the program from the implementation science perspective. I am also interested in collaborating on others' projects to contribute my expertise in epidemiology, RCT and evaluation. |

My research interests are at the intersection of public health informatics, and applied artificial intelligence , spanning both uninjured and injured populations. I study how data-driven methods can characterize health and healthcare across sociodemographic and socioeconomic gradients. I am interested in the evaluation of youth mental health interventions with a particular interest in equity, i.e., whether interventions deliver comparable access, quality, and mental health outcomes across intersecting groups, including youth marginalized by socioeconomic status, sex, race, disability, geography, or migration status. Digital health interventions and AI-enabled tools are of special interest to me, where algorithmic fairness auditing can test whether these tools perform equitably rather than reproducing existing disparities. |
