Community-based research is critical to better understanding the causes and persistence of systemic racism and to addressing disparities related to race, gender and other forms of diversity. Thatās why the Government of Canada supports research focused on the lived experiences of people from underrepresented and disadvantaged groups.

This initiative is led by theĀ Social Sciences and Humanities Research CouncilĀ (SSHRC), in partnership with theĀ Canadian Institutes of Health ResearchĀ (CIHR), whose investment helped fund projects that have a focus on health.
