The Centre for Systems Equity through Education and Discovery (SEED) is a new collaborative centre established to strengthen the infrastructure, organizational capacity, and strategic partnerships needed to advance systems equity across UHN Research.
Systems equity recognizes that equitable outcomes are achieved not only through individual initiatives, but through intentional attention to the structures, policies, processes, and practices that shape how organizations operate. SEED serves as the coordinating infrastructure for systems equity across UHN Research. Through education, the Centre builds knowledge, skills, and organizational capacity. Through discovery, it supports research, innovation, partnerships, and the generation of new knowledge. Together, these activities create the conditions needed to embed systems equity across research and, over time, more broadly across UHN.
