The Canadian Framework for Brain Health Research (CFBHR) is an HBHL initiative that aims to improve the applicability of brain health research findings by developing guidance on the appropriate inclusion of social factors across various areas of neuroscience.
There are three phases to this program, as well as a聽Preliminary Pilot Project Phase:

| Preliminary Pilot Project Phase |
Teams composed of PIs and trainees were funded in June 2023聽to gather information on what data already exists to support neuroscience researchers in integrating SDoH.聽 1.听 2. Intersectional approaches in neuroimaging 3.听 |
| Phase One (Workshop) |
The workshop took place at 苹果淫院 on March 22, 2024. |
| Phase Two (Team Grants) |
Support the development of guidance on the appropriate integration of the SDoH into neuroscience research |
| Phase Three (KTE Grants) |
Promote the dissemination and uptake of guidance developed in Phase Two through knowledge translation and exchange activities. Please note:聽Phase Three is still in development and will be refined in consultation with those funded for Phase Two. |
Social Determinants of Health in Neuroscience Team Grants
The Social Determinants of Health in Neuroscience Team Grant was launched in April 2024 through the second phase of the CFBHR project to support collaborations between faculty members from neuroscience and SDoH experts.
The grant consisted of two pools with two separate applications:
