The IMPART research training program provides research training awards to highly qualified individuals pursuing a research career in addictions research with a particular focus on gender, women and addictions. Awards consist of a time-limited stipend and a research/travel allowance for graduate students studying at the Masters and Doctoral level; and for Postdoctoral Fellows and Clinician Researchers.
This innovative, multidisciplinary research training program is designed to equip health researchers from across disciplines, sectors and settings to conduct gender- and sex-based analyses in addictions research with a focus on the intersections of addictions with violence, trauma and mental health.

- a passion for the advancement and integration of knowledge, practice and policy in the area of gender, women and addictions
- previous research experience in gender, women and addictions

- recent employment experience in research, programs, services or policy related to gender, women and addictions
- scholarly publications (this applies to graduate students and post doctoral fellows)
- content expertise in some aspect of gender, women and addictions
- a commitment to advancing research in relation to addictions
