Educational institution
Located at 355 King St W 1st floor, Kingston, ON K7L 3N6, Canada, the Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research (CIMVHR) is a pivotal organization dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of military personnel, Veterans, and their families through research and collaboration.
CIMVHR serves as a national hub that connects researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and military and Veteran communities. The institute fosters an environment of collaborative research aimed at addressing the unique health challenges faced by those who serve or have served in the Canadian Armed Forces. By bridging the gap between research and practical application, CIMVHR plays a crucial role in improving health outcomes and support services for military members and Veterans.
The institute's work spans a wide range of health issues, including mental health, physical injuries, rehabilitation, and the transition from military to civilian life. CIMVHR's efforts are supported by a network of over 400 researchers from across Canada, who are engaged in various projects funded by the institute. These projects not only contribute to the body of knowledge on military and Veteran health but also inform policy and practice in the field.
One of CIMVHR's key initiatives is the annual research symposium, which brings together experts from around the world to share the latest findings and best practices in military and Veteran health. This event facilitates the exchange of ideas and fosters new collaborations, further enhancing the impact of the institute's work.
In addition to research, CIMVHR is committed to knowledge translation, ensuring that research findings are accessible and applicable to those who need them most. The institute works closely with the Department of National Defence and Veterans Affairs Canada to ensure that its research directly benefits military and Veteran communities.
