The MIRA | Dixon Hall Centre is a partnership between MIRA and Dixon Hall, a multi-service agency focused on addressing poverty, social injustices, and isolation across the lifespan in downtown Toronto East. Knowledge Synthesis Grants will support the synthesis and mobilization of existing knowledge and the identification of knowledge gaps and opportunities related to the following themes identified as priority areas in consultation with staff, leadership, and other stakeholders from Dixon Hall:

• Loneliness, social isolation & emotional well-being
• Housing & aging in place
• Precarity, financial well-being & food security
• Physical & cognitive decline
• Ageism, vulnerability, & loss of agency

Successful proposals will include a comprehensive knowledge mobilization plan for disseminating findings, such as a knowledge mobilization forum, in-person workshops, videos, education materials, infographics or other knowledge mobilization approaches.
