The CBRS Funders’ Coalition gathered for its third annual meeting on October 30th, 2023 over Zoom. This meeting brought together 21 representatives of 20 research funding organizations in the brain and mental health ecosystem, including local, provincial and federal entities, health charities and other non-profits, industry partners, and private foundations. The organizations in the coalition represent more than 1,500 grants and $480 million in current funding to brain and mental health research.
Funders continued to show a cohesive alignment on our strategic priorities within the CBRS Funders’ Coalition and common values on collaborative engagement with key stakeholder groups. The meeting capped a year of CBRS-led focused meetings with funders on Diversity and Team Science (October 2022), Transdisciplinary Research & Training (Patient Partners) (March 2023), Indigenous Initiatives (May 2023) and Open Science (October 2023), and provided a collaborative platform for insightful discussions and networking. Together, we shared our latest achievements, milestones, plans and partnership opportunities, and establish a roadmap for government outreach and wider engagement.
