Planning, Implementing and Sustaining Large-scale, Long-term Research Programs

Such projects can come with many benefits, and when done right can achieve important and high impact outcomes. At the same time there can
be many challenges – some of which one can predict, others which are difficult to anticipate.

Professor Gaetz will explore these issues from the perspective of his work on homelessness, including the Canadian Observatory on Homelessness, the Homeless Hub and Making the Shift, a Youth Homelessness Social Innovation Lab (Networks of Centres of Excellence).

Professor Pepler will discuss the importance of an interdependent approach to relationships and co-creation in moving research to impact based on her embedded scholarship and her leadership in the Promoting Relationships and Eliminating Violence Network (PREVNet).

Professor Keil will focus on effective knowledge dissemination in large research projects, highlighting strategies to engage diverse audiences,
navigate publishing challenges, and tackle misinformation in the digital age.

Following the presentations, the session will open up for an interactive Q&A, providing participants an opportunity to engage with the presenters, share experiences, and ask questions on planning and implementing large-scale, long-term research projects.

Panel:
Stephen Gaetz, Professor and York Research Chair in Homelessness and Research Impact, Faculty of Education, York University
