Our Commitment to and Progress Towards Anti-Black Racism

THP and IBH have made a commitment to becoming a safer and more inclusive environment with a dedicated focus on dismantling anti-Black racism and white supremacy at THP.

This commitment is in response to the recognition that Black people systemically experience the organization differently than their white and non-Black colleagues.

Similarly, Black scientists and research staff experience the research ecosystem differently.

Anti-Black racism is the starting point as Black individuals and communities are disproportionately impacted by the harms of systemic racism and white supremacy culture.

In this work, we are committed to disrupting and reconstructing the processes, practices, and systems that contribute to anti-Black racism.

THP established its Equity Secretariat Office in 2020, providing education and training on anti-Black racism, and establishing a THP Circle on Anti-Racism and Inclusion.

Today, the Equity Secretariat has become the Equity, Anti-Racism and Inclusion Office, with a current staff of four whose specific focus is on dismantling anti-Black racism and white supremacy and advancing other dimensions of inequity within THP.

This office supported the completion of an externally-led Anti-Black Racism Climate Review and resulting report, which includes recommendations and actions that are being integrated into THP's operating plan.

At IBH, the Anti-Black Racism Allyship Initiative (ABRAI) was established in 2020 to understand the experiences of Black staff within IBH and develop an action plan in partnership with Black staff to address anti-Black racism.

The action plan has been translated into operational objectives that support the recruitment, retention, and career development of Black staff.

As part of this plan, IBH has established an optional, monthly Black Excellence meeting for Black staff at IBH where the purpose is to provide a safe space where all hold power and attendees can connect, network, and support each other.

The Role

Within this dynamic portfolio, there are several central topics of interest, including: designing, implementing, and using mixed-methods to evaluate interventions that support optimal medication use across health systems; conducting knowledge syntheses; using a behavioural science lens to understand success and failure of healthcare systems and innovations; and co-designing knowledge mobilization approaches to support implementation of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines and other resources to support deprescribing as part of primary and long-term care settings.

Engagement with stakeholders, including patients and caregivers, is a central component of the role.
