The Intersections of Mental Health Perspectives in Addictions Research Training (IMPART) is an innovative, multidisciplinary research training program designed to equip health researchers from across disciplines, sectors and settings to conduct gender- and sex-based analyses in addictions research with a focus on the intersections of violence, trauma and mental health with addictions.
IMPART offers a research training program and fellowships to Postdoctoral Fellows, Graduate Students and Clinician Researchers.
What our graduates have to say:
"My growth as a neuroscience researcher has been greatly enhanced by the IMPART program. The transdisciplinary emphasis and practice that IMPART provides has provided me with an experience that I believe has been invaluable to my training as an academic researcher."
(PhD trainee, Neuroscience, graduated Dec 2011) more...
"As the main goals of IMPART target gender and sex based analyses in addictions research with a focus on the intersections of violence, trauma and mental health, it has been a unique opportunity for me to develop my knowledge and put it into practice."
((PhD trainee, Interdisciplinary studies, graduated Dec 2011)
"Previous to my fellowship, I had this feeling that the medical model of addiction just didn't cover everything. IMPART enabled me to figure out just what those missing were. My fellowship helped me develop greater understanding, knowledge, and compassion so I can be effective in the field."
(M.A trainee, Epidemiology, graduated Aug 2011) more...
"What I gained most from IMPART was hearing the often divergent but always fascinating view points of the other IMPART members, each person coming from a different background with a different focus of research but a similar passion for creating dialogue regarding substance use and gender."
