Strategic Directions, Policies and Research Procedures
2015-2020 Strategic Directions for Researchat the Institut du Savoir Montfort
This document presents the very first plan of ISM’s strategic directions in terms of research. This strategic planning has been the subject of consultations with researchers, partners and staff from the ISM and Montfort. The proposals selected following these consultations were enriched and validated through discussions with the various decision-making authorities of Montfort.
Our Major Objectives
In order to improve the health of the population; more particularly that of Francophone communities, we:
- generate new knowledge on the two-way relationship between physical and mental illness in order to develop prevention, detection and intervention strategies;
- establish ourselves as a center of expertise on healthcare research focused on the needs of patients and participants;
- improve healthcare services by insuring a more effective integration of care and the continuum of services in cases involving physical and mental comorbidities based on research results.
Our Signature
We want to achieve recognition for:
- our discoveries on the two-way relationship between physical and mental illness and for developing prevention, detection and intervention strategies;
- our effectiveness and efficiency in including patients and participants in healthcare and services at each stage of the research process, from design to the dissemination of knowledge.
