The CHAIM Centre facilitates engagement across disciplines and sectors. Our goal is to advance Canadian health research and its application to health care accessibility and programs. The Centre’s activities focus primarily on communication, networking, and outreach to facilitate health research partnerships and knowledge mobilization. In so doing, our objectives are to share health research in a manner that is accessible to:
- researchers across disciplines in order to foster trans-disciplinary collaborations and research initiatives
- the lay public in the form of knowledge ‘bites’ that enable informed decision-making and the uptake of knowledge
- policy and program delivery agencies by providing a context for engaging and sharing information and insights that can guide research and innovation strategies for addressing complex health and health care issues
Black Lives Matter Solidarity Statement
The CHAIM Centre recognizes that the tragic events currently taking place in the U.S. and Canada stem from centuries of systemic racism and we are deeply aware that changes must be made. Black people experience a disproportionate number of health disparities, in large part due to the direct and indirect racism that persists in our society. As a research centre whose goal is to advance health research and its application to health care accessibility across Canada, we stand in alliance with Black students, colleagues, and community members to bring about the fundamental changes needed for a just and equitable society.

The CHAIM Centre has also produced a series of educational videos exploring questions of why race matters, what it represents, and how ethnoracial analysis can be ethically incorporated into research. These videos are intended to encourage thoughtful discussion on the role of race in science among students and the broader research community.
