The Ontario Brain Institute (OBI) is pleased to announce $552,000 in funding to support four community organizations advancing brain health and wellness across the province. This commitment comes as part of the Growing Expertise in Evaluation and Knowledge Translation (GEEK) program.
“Each of these organizations brings a deep understanding of the communities they serve,” said Dr. Tom Mikkelsen, President and Scientific Director of OBI. “Through GEEK, we’re proud to support programs that build capacity, align program delivery with care needs, and create long-term impact for people living with neurological conditions.”
Now in its seventh year, the GEEK program offers evaluation expertise, support, and funding to community-led programs and services focused on brain health or people managing brain disorders. GEEK is a unique model of funding in that it improves evidence-informed care close to home while centering the role of community in healthcare.
