The Network for Improving Health Systems (NIHS) at the University of Toronto and the Ontario Drug Policy and Research Network (ODPRN) will host, “Making Research Matter: Approaches to Strengthen Connections between Research, Policy, and Community.”

You’ll hear from Dr. Mina Tadrous and three of our research trainees, who will discuss their experiences and approaches to conducting research that is responsive to the needs of policymakers and knowledge users, while meaningfully centering the lived and living experiences of people and communities in research. The session will also provide opportunities for interactive discussion to share insights on how we can collectively make research truly matter.
