In 2016, under Canada's Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research mandate, we embarked on a journey to improve life outcomes for children with brain-based developmental disabilities and their families.
Over the past four years, we have seen our community-building efforts come to fruition. We launched an ambitious patient-oriented research program, we developed multiple patient-oriented training initiatives, we advanced a knowledge translation program, and most importantly, we engaged patients, families, and other citizens in our governance and all our activities. We are proud that our work has been built on priorities identified by patients, families, and citizens, and that these stakeholders continue to steer and guide CHILD-BRIGHT's efforts.
As we move ahead in our mandate and work, we are increasingly turning our attention to planning how to sustain this work and build upon our successes to reach new goals in the years to come.
We are happy to share this strategy with you in our CHILD-BRIGHT Sustainability Report, now available in English and French.
This sustainability report describes how we, at CHILD-BRIGHT, plan to continue our mission, meet the needs of our citizens and members, grow to meet future needs, and realize our vision. It also highlights how we have involved our members and citizens in this strategic planning.
We wish to thank our financial partners for their commitment to this work. As you will see in our report, partnerships are the cornerstone of our success, now and in years to come, and we hope to continue building upon these important ties as we move ahead together.
