MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions

MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions is a world-leading research centre dedicated to creating a healthier future for all. Through big-picture research and real-world solutions, MAP scientists tackle complex community health issues — many at the intersection of health and equity. MAP research is defined by scientific excellence, a focus on rapid scale-up, and long-term community and policy partnerships.

MAP is part of the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute of St. Michael’s Hospital and is fully affiliated with the University of Toronto. MAP includes 40 scientists, investigators and affiliate scientists, and over 150 staff and research trainees.

MAP scientists currently hold $100M in multi-year funding through a mix of peer-reviewed research grants, government funding, and philanthropic funding (individuals, corporations, foundations). In support of MAP’s long term sustainability and growth, a fundraising campaign for MAP was launched in 2021 by the St. Michael’s Foundation with a target of $40M. This effort builds on prior campaigns that raised $35M for research at MAP.

A 5-Year Strategic Plan 2020-2025 informs the approach and focus of MAP’s scientists and strategic priorities. The plan’s strategic goals include: * Strengthen and leverage our base of research and community partner expertise to respond as policy windows open

• Deliver high impact scalable solutions supported by evidence and implementation guidance
• Drive system and policy change for health equity
