Agreement Value:
$17,739,834.00
Agreement Date:
Sep 1, 2024 - Aug 31, 2028
Description:
The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
• Create a single federated pan-Canadian IYS data platform that is secure, scalable, and that supports harmonized measurement, data management, and data analyses.
• Maintain data autonomy for individual sources while providing a unified view for users, enhancing scalability, flexibility, and efficiency in large and complex data environments.
• Allow for the establishment of youth and community end-user priorities in data analysis and use, along with researchers, decisions-makers and other key health stakeholders. Comparison of disaggregated data may also facilitate the reporting of the Working Together plan’s shared health indicator on access to IYS services.
• Provide tools to reliably extract knowledge from data that will ultimately allow stakeholders to have more timely, accurate, comprehensive and diverse information on youth mental health and substance abuse.
• Develop a transparent, inclusive, equitable and robust governance framework that includes youth voices and ensures data sovereignty and safeguards sensitive data while enabling advanced analytics for system-wide service improvement and equity.
