The SMART Healthy Cities Training Platform will train the next generation of health, social sciences and humanities, engineering and natural science researchers, to find ways to make Canadian cities healthier, more livable, and more resilient using food and food systems to improve population health.Turning knowledge into action - Our program is designed to provide trainees from 10 Canadian institutions with the knowledge and skills to tackle many of the challenges faced in urban environments, creating smart solutions to improve food access, mobility, and health in Canadian communities, including First Nations. Trainees will engage in implementation science; that is, all aspects of how to move knowledge into action from conception, execution, testing, scale up and evaluation. Experiential learning opportunities will enable trainees to put these skills to use.
