What we do
MHRC is committed to advancing or co-funding research that has the high potential for bettering the lives of Canadians, and for bridging the gap between research and practice.
Our work falls into four key categories:
We advance research that has the potential for deep impact among Canadians, and we manage the selection process of these grants.
We build capacity in Canada’s mental health landscape by supporting emerging researchers through studentships.
We engage stakeholders, including people with lived experience, to help develop research priorities.
We partner with like-minded organizations and donors on co-funding grants and other initiatives to build important bridges between research and practice.
