Knowledge mobilization tools, including evidence-informed policy.

We draw on multidisciplinary insights from many fields, including economics, applied psychology and human development, and political science. We work with researchers across Canada and abroad to answer questions, develop interventions and mobilize information.

We are exploring scalable, equitable research, targeting the nuanced needs of Canadian children and youth, from ECEC through to youth job training. We consider and attend to differences in experiences across regions, socioeconomic, and cultural landscapes. Gaining an understanding of where inequities lie and for which groups of learners is the first step toward ensuring equitable care, educational and training systems for all Canadian children and youth.
