PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
The CHILD-BRIGHT Network is composed of four programs and two service teams that work to create a brighter future for children and youth with brain-based developmental disabilities and their families across their lifespan. Read more about their activities below.
Research Program
The Research Program is studying new therapies, service models, diagnostic tests and technologies to improve the physical and mental health of children with brain-based developmental disabilities and their families.
Citizen Engagement Program
The Citizen Engagement Program aims to meaningfully and effectively engage as many people touched by brain-based developmental disabilities as possible to guide the network.
Knowledge Translation Program
The Knowledge Translation Program develops and implements strategies to effectively translate the results of our research findings to families, health care professionals and society at large.
Training Program
The Training Program develops training and mentoring opportunities to help foster a culture of patient-oriented research that will positively impact health research in Canada and improve outcomes for patients and their families.
Health Economics
The Health Economics team evaluates the resource and service use, costs, and cost-effectiveness of emerging technologies, interventions, treatments, and services for a wide range of childhood brain-based developmental disabilities. We also evaluate the health-related quality of life of children and their caregivers.
Data Coordinating Centre
The Data Coordinating Centre helps CHILD-BRIGHT research project teams develop secure, reliable, and rigorous systems for the collection, analysis, and reporting of study data.
