Partner with us on obesity research

Obesity Canada partners with researchers who share our commitment to changing how Canada sees, supports, and understands people affected by obesity. By combining science, lived experience, clinical practice, education, and advocacy, we can challenge stigma, close gaps in understanding of obesity as a chronic disease, and build the evidence needed for systemic change.

If you’re a researcher looking to collaborate on projects that reflect the realities of people affected by obesity, we’d like to hear from you.

This form will help us understand your expertise, goals, and how we can work together to create impact.
