IMPART

Intersections of Mental Health Perspectives in Addictions Research Training is an innovative, multidisciplinary research training program designed to equip health researchers from across disciplines, sectors and settings to conduct sex- and gender-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.

  • The IMPART program is in its final year and is no longer accepting applications for fellowships.

However, watch this space for our new website coming Fall 2015. It will share an open access online course, videos and loads of free resources. In the meantime, you can check out our new book,Transforming Addiction: gender, trauma, transdisciplinarity published by Routledge.

What Our Graduates Say

PhD trainee, Neuroscience:

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. More...

PhD trainee, Interdisciplinary Studies:

MA trainee, Clinical Psychology:

What I gained most from IMPART was hearing the often divergent but always fascinating viewpoints 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. More...
