The overarching goal of this application is to accelerate community health and well-being by addressing the applied research needs of Sheridan College's partners. Sheridan primarily serves the diverse communities in the regions of Halton and Peel. Industry and community stakeholders in these regions have identified health and well-being as a priority, with innovation needed to address a spectrum of challenges including: pandemic-related mental and physical health issues and repercussions on businesses, healthy aging, chronic disease prevention and management, and community-level challenges impacting inclusion and well-being. This Mobilize grant will allow us to respond strategically to these needs through four main objectives: growing and diversifying our network to serve a broader range of partners, including not-for-profits; expanding our capacity in health and well-being research and innovation at the college; increasing cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary research to tackle complex partner needs; and enhancing meaningful student training opportunities. Building on the significant expertise of our Research Centres and Faculties, we will accomplish these objectives by filling critical staffing gaps to support partnership development, coordination of interdisciplinary research, and outreach and dissemination, and by providing rapid access to Seed Funds to enable early-stage research activities to serve our communities, engage faculty, and train students. Supporting healthy communities is an institutional priority. We anticipate that this funding will help advance our strategic research objectives and lead to numerous benefits for our partners, including improved products, services and productivity; greater equity and belonging among our community members; and the resulting long-term health, societal, and economic benefits for the regions we serve. In short, the proposed funding will catalyze lasting impacts for Sheridan and for our communities.

该应用程序的总体目标是通过满足谢里丹学院合作伙伴的应用研究需求来加速社区健康和福祉。 Sheridan主要为Halton和Peel地区的不同社区提供服务。这些地区的行业和社区利益相关者将健康和福祉确定为优先事项，需要创新来应对以下挑战，包括：大流行有关的心理和身体健康问题以及对企业，健康衰老，慢性病预防和管理的影响以及社区级别的挑战，影响包容和福祉。 这种动员赠款将使我们能够通过四个主要目标对这些需求进行战略性回应：发展和多样化我们的网络以服务于包括非营利组织在内的更广泛的合作伙伴；扩大我们在学院的健康和福祉研究和创新方面的能力；增加跨部门和跨学科研究以应对复杂的合作伙伴需求；并增加有意义的学生培训机会。在我们的研究中心和教职员工的重要专业知识的基础上，我们将通过填补关键人员配备差距来支持伙伴关系发展，跨学科研究，外展和传播来实现这些目标。支持健康社区是机构的优先事项。我们预计，这项资金将有助于提高我们的战略研究目标，并为我们的合作伙伴带来许多好处，包括改善的产品，服务和生产力；我们的社区成员之间的更大平等和归属；以及我们服务地区的长期健康，社会和经济利益。简而言之，拟议的资金将催化对谢里丹和我们社区的持久影响。
