Research
Research at BORN Ontario is guided by a mission-driven strategy that supports our learning health system approach - where data, evidence, and practice continuously inform and improve one another. Team members at BORN lead and support research projects across the continuum of perinatal, child, and youth health – spanning epidemiology, data science and AI, knowledge translation, and implementation science. We collaborate across disciplines and sectors to generate insights and drive improvements in health system performance and health outcomes for pregnant individuals, children, youth, and families. Whether through investigator-led studies, strategic partnerships, or embedded research initiatives, our goal is to ensure that evidence drives real-world impact across Ontario and beyond.
