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登学院合作伙伴的应用研究需求来促进社区健康和福祉。 谢里登主要为荷顿和皮尔地区的多元化社区提供服务。这些地区的行业和社区利益相关者已将健康和福祉视为优先事项，需要创新来解决一系列挑战，包括：与大流行相关的精神和身体健康问题及其对企业的影响、健康老龄化、慢性病预防和管理，以及影响包容性和福祉的社区层面的挑战。 这笔 Mobilize 赠款将使我们能够通过四个主要目标战略性地响应这些需求：发展我们的网络并使其多样化，为更广泛的合作伙伴（包括非营利组织）提供服务；扩大学院在健康和福祉方面的研究和创新能力；增加跨部门和跨学科研究，以满足复杂的合作伙伴需求；并增加有意义的学生培训机会。基于我们研究中心和学院的重要专业知识，我们将通过填补关键的人员缺口来实现这些目标，以支持伙伴关系发展、协调跨学科研究以及推广和传播，并提供快速获得种子基金的机会，使早期研究活动能够为我们的社区服务、吸引教师和培训学生。支持健康社区是机构的优先事项。我们预计这笔资金将有助于推进我们的战略研究目标，并为我们的合作伙伴带来众多好处，包括改进产品、服务和生产力；我们的社区成员之间有更大的公平性和归属感；以及由此为我们服务的地区带来的长期健康、社会和经济效益。简而言之，拟议的资金将为谢里登和我们的社区带来持久的影响。
