Commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Research 

At CAMH, we know that inclusive research is better research. Advancing mental health science means ensuring that every discovery reflects the diverse communities we serve - and actively working to eliminate the systemic barriers that prevent equitable participation and impact.

Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are central to how we conduct, support, and apply research. From study design to knowledge translation, CAMH Research is embedding inclusive values at every stage of the research process.

Advancing Equity Through Targeted Initiatives

Our commitment is exemplified through initiatives like womenmind™ - a community of philanthropists, researchers, and leaders working to close the gender gap in mental health research. womenmind is helping to build a future where women researchers thrive and where sex and gender differences are prioritized in scientific inquiry.

How We're Putting EDI Into Action

CAMH Research is committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion through:

  • Inclusive hiring, promotion, and leadership development to ensure equitable representation at all levels of research.
  • Capacity building and mentorship opportunities that support equity-deserving researchers and trainees.
  • Engagement of people with lived and living experience to co-design studies and ensure research is relevant, respectful, and impactful.
  • Addressing structural biases in research practices, funding systems, and data collection.

Creating an inclusive research culture where diverse perspectives are not only welcomed but drive innovation.
