Description
This program fosters the development of new or early-stage collaborative research partnerships between University of Toronto (U of T) faculty and community partners. Projects must be driven by needs and priorities identified by the community, with the aim of equitable engagement between non-academic organizations and university researchers. The initiative is designed to catalyze partnerships that may later attract external funding and evolve into more established collaborations, addressing issues of mutual interest and societal impact.
