Welcome to the new Capacity Research Unit website!
At the Capacity Research Unit, our focus is interdisciplinary research that is community-based and shaped by community-academic collaborations. Together with our partners, we address discrimination and inequities in healthcare and social services. It is important that all of our communication vehicles, including the website, reflect the go-forward research program focus. Hence, our new look!
Our site is categorized into four sections.
