The Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction will fund workshops/symposia to be held in Canada when budget permits. This funding is intended for a one-time event and is at the discretion of the Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction and dependent upon the relevance of the workshop/symposia to the
INMHA's mandate and strategic priorities.
Eligible research areas include but are not limited to:
- mental health and neurological health promotion policies and strategies
- addiction prevention policies and strategies
- health determinants - to elucidate the multi-dimensional factors that affect the health of populations and lead to a differential prevalence of health concerns

- co-morbidity of conditions and impacts on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, care and rehabilitation
- design and implementation of health services delivery - from prevention, to screening, to diagnosis, to intervention or treatment, to rehabilitation, to palliation
- development and implementation of health technologies and tools (e.g. imaging, bio-engineering, drug delivery technologies)
- development, regulation, function and dysfunction of the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems
- human psychology, cognition and behaviour; sleep and circadian biology; pain
- ethics issues related to research, care strategies, and access to care (e.g. informed consent; hospitalization; addiction, mental health and the justice system)
