Growing Research Impact at CHEO and Beyond

My name is Dr. Jason Berman. I am the CEO and Scientific Director of the CHEO Research Institute and Vice-President of Research at CHEO.

At CHEO, world-class research is at the root of the exceptional care we provide to children, youth and families every day.

At the CHEO Research Institute, it is our vision to make discoveries that inspire the best life for every child and youth. We do this by connecting exceptional talent and technology in pursuit of life-changing research.

I am extremely proud to present the CHEO Research Strategy (2025-2029) – Where Discovery Takes Root which will serve as our blueprint over the next four years as research at CHEO continues to grow and thrive.

The CHEO Research Strategy outlines four “roots” that serve as our strategic pillars: Research Unleashed; Accelerate Discoveries; Transformative Collaborations; and Globally Renowned. Locally Loved.

More than 500 members of the CHEO and CHEO Research community, including patients and families, contributed meaningfully to what you see in the strategy. We are all inspired by CHEO children and youth, and our researchers will continue to ask the questions that matter most to families and push the boundaries of current knowledge to make groundbreaking discoveries that will have an impact now and in the future.

Like the roots of a tree, we are all deeply connected, and our work would not be possible without the strategic guidance of the CHEO Research Institute Board of Directors, the incredible work of everyone at the CHEO Research Institute, and our partners at CHEO and the CHEO Foundation, whose donor support allows CHEO research to grow and thrive.

Most importantly, we are deeply grateful to CHEO children, youth and families for their constant inspiration, dedication and support for continued growth and excellence through research.
