Research and Evaluation
   

The Research Meeting is a working meeting where attendees actively participate in the discussion and presenters give follow-up on ideas and plans discussed during the meeting.

The Meetings have several goals including:

  • Increase opportunities for collaboration within and beyond individual departments
  • Generate new reserach and dissemination projects
  • Discuss new and exciting methods relevant to advancing research on integrated mental health care
  • Serve as a high level works-in-progress group for researchers with similar interests
  • Identify and develop opportunities to:
    • Translate research into practice
    • Support "Reverse Translation" from practice to research / practice based learning

Meetings are routinely held on the 4th Monday of each month. For more information about the meeting or to sign up for email announcements, contact Lindsay Bell.
