In 2005, IHDCYH initiated a new strategic planning process, culminating a new strategic plan for 2006-2010. This new strategic plan reflects the knowledge and experience we have gained over our first 5 years and the input of researchers, clinicians, policy makers, funding partners, and other stakeholders across the country. You can learn more about our strategic goals and research priorities by reading our new strategic plan.
We encourage you to submit any news, including external funding opportunities, special initiatives, or events that may be of interest to the IHDCYH research community. Please forward this information to the Institute at: IHDCYH-IDSEA@cihr-irsc.gc.ca
