Grant: Planning and Dissemination Grant - Institute Community Support

The Women's Health Leadership Online Network will provide a platform for cross-sectoral women's health stakeholders to engage around topics central to women's health leadership, including sex and gender based analysis, social determinants of health, health equity and leadership theory and application. Derived from women's health leadership programming previously delivered by the Ontario Women's Health Network, the online platform will be a women's health leadership hub, where anyone can access research, resources, new publications and videos online. This will be complemented by the use of various community engagement and knowledge exchange tools, such as webinars and Twitter chats, to engage stakeholders in education and discussion opportunities. This will allow for interactive engagement and learning that diverse users can easily access to help them work towards improving the quality of women's health and health care. Through their use of the website, stakeholders will: increase their understanding and application of sex and gender based analysis and health equity tools; increase their knowledge of social determinants of health and leadership; exchange knowledge around women's health research, policy and services; develop new networks, share ideas and resources and foster potential collaborations. The outcomes of this project are invaluable to advancing women's health and health care, as multi-disciplinary stakeholders will have the rare opportunity to connect, learn and generate ideas together.
