CAMH Science: Centred on Discovery

Science Synopsis from the Research Program
Volume One, Issue Two

From the Desk of Darryl Yates, Director of Research Operations

Over the last few months, we worked hard to update the Research Functional Plan. This is the document that guides the Research Program’s role in the Queen Street site redevelopment. And am I pleased to say that we proposed a Plan that strategically fosters research at CAMH over the coming years.

I am inspired by our renewed vision for Research – a vision that focuses on integration. Our extensive planning process enables the Research Program to integrate smoothly with CAMH’s new vision for mental health and substance use. As the Queen Street site is transformed, we will be creating facilities that support clients’ dignity, recovery and transition back into the community, while integrating the best in research, clinical care, teaching, health promotion and policy at one site.

We are committed to working together so that our scientists conduct collaborative research across disciplines and change how people receive care. This exciting environment increases our opportunities to work together to generate timely and relevant research. We will also be in a better position to translate these scientific discoveries into improved clinical care, prevention and intervention initiatives, and public policy. Visit Redeveloping the Queen Street site for more information on what’s in store for the renewed CAMH.

Thank you to all of you who contributed to the updated Functional Plan. I would especially like to thank Debbie Thompson, Manager of Research Operations, for her tireless efforts in assisting me to ensure this project stayed on track. It was an exhaustive task, but one that will bring immense benefits to the Research Program, to CAMH, and to the community.
