Canadian Institution of Health Research (CIHR) Funding

​

This project is funded by CIHR through the Knowledge Synthesis Grant: COVID-19 Rapid Research Funding Opportunity in Mental Health.
 

The grant is provided to address the Government of Canada’s goal to continue to mobilize high quality science to fight COVID-19, and to mitigate the downstream impacts of public health countermeasures. The funding is to support rapid knowledge synthesis and related knowledge mobilization of current needs in mental health and substance use in the COVID-19 context. This could include, for example, examination of the impact in at-risk populations, development of guidelines, and evidence related to effectiveness of services or implementation of interventions.

APEC Digital Hub

The APEC Digital Hub for Mental Health is the coordinating centre for APEC's work in mental health, bringing together government, public, and private sectors to share, develop, scale up and evaluate innovative evidence- and practice-based programs for mental health.

The Digital Hub is hosted in Canada at the University of British Columbia (UBC), in collaboration with the University of Alberta (UA) and the Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments (CANMAT).  Core partners across the Asia-Pacific region support and contribute to the activities of the Digital Hub.
