CDPP 2.0 Summer Institute
The CDPP 2.0 Summer Institute aims to build capacity among CDPP 2.0 trainees so that trainees are equipped to contribute to the goal of CDPP: optimizing full and effective physical activity participation among persons with lived experience of disability in Canada. The CDPP 2.0 Summer Institute will be offered every other year starting in 2025. The theme and learning objectives will be informed by the training needs of the CDPP 2.0 members. The program will feature plenary sessions, workshops, group work, networking, poster sessions and more.
Eligibility
Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who are contributing to CDPP 2.0 research or knowledge mobilization activities are invited to apply for this training opportunity. Trainees contributing to any of the CDPP 2.0 teams are encouraged to apply. Please refer to the program guidelines (once posted) for complete eligibility criteria.
To give weight to the experiences of those who are currently the least represented in scholarship, at least 75% of spots will be reserved for trainees who identify with one or more equity-owed groups.
2025 CDPP 2.0 Summer Institute
The 2025 Summer Institute application period is now closed.
CDPP 2.0’s inaugural Summer Institute is taking place at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario from June 10-12, 2025.
The theme for this year’s Summer Institute is “Partnership at the Core”. By focusing on the underlying art and science of partnership, and learning how to apply partnership guiding principles, the Summer Institute planning committee is excited for attendees to live into our value of “Partnering authentically and respectfully”. This area of focus was also highlighted as a potential area of interest by trainees who completed the CDPP 2.0 Training Needs survey in June 2024.
