IHDCYH Initiatives
To deliver on the areas of focus and strategic priorities outlined in our Strategic Plan 2022–2026, the Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health (IHDCYH) is leading Institute-specific initiatives to promote better beginnings, vibrant childhoods and empowered youth. IHDCYH also partners on Priority-Driven Research initiatives led by other CIHR Institutes and external partners. These initiatives align with IHDCYH's strategic priorities to have the strongest possible impact on health and health care for the benefit of Canadians.
