We will update this page with more Phase 2 details soon!
CHILD-BRIGHT’s Training & Capacity Building Program team, led by Dr. Dan Goldowitz, is responsible for establishing the training and mentoring agenda of the network. Engaging with multiple groups, including partners with lived and living experience (PWLEs), researchers, and policymakers, we aim to foster a culture of patient-oriented research that will not only positively affect the future of health research within Canada, but also lead to improved outcomes for children with brain-based developmental disabilities and their families.
Through the design of courses, workshops, and seminars, our training agenda will lead to a new generation of researchers who collaborate with PWLEs - individuals who can effectively engage with researchers and petition for policy change - and with policymakers, who will be not only more attuned to the health care needs of children with brain-based developmental disabilities and their families, but also better informed of novel research outcomes that can drive necessary policy changes.

Graduate Student Fellowship in Patient-Oriented Research
The fellowship is designed to enhance the training experience of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who are engaged in patient-oriented research relating to brain-based developmental disabilities in children. It also aims to increase patient engagement throughout the process by enriching current POR practices or augmenting the research project.
