Working Groups on emerging challenges and opportunities

We aim to support 1-2 new working groups each year in response to members’ interests. If you would like to propose a topic, please contact info@iamhrf.org

Our working groups are time-limited and subject to regular review to ensure they remain relevant to emerging challenges and opportunities in the sector. 

In 2023, we launched a new working group on digital mental health. This topic is an emerging priority for funders according to our annual member survey. We're also developing plans for two further working groups on 1) communications and 2) prevention, promotion, and early intervention.

Digital Mental Health

Members: Fondation Botnar, Fonds de Recherche du Québec, Grand Challenges Canada, Health Research Board, MQ Mental Health Research, National Institute of Mental Health, Raintree Foundation, UKRI Medical Research Council, Wellcome, and ZonMW.

The group also benefits from the input of our lived experience advisers, Anne-Laure Donskoy and Vijay Rajkumar.
