  • Equity and diversity: Proposals must align with the Alliance’s commitment to advancing health equity in Ontario. Priority will be given to proposals that are Intersectional and include perspectives from one or more of the Alliance’s priority groups – people and communities who are Indigenous, Black, Francophone, LGBT2SQ+, or situated in rural or northern areas.
  • Organization and clarity: Proposals must clearly and concisely outline the innovation, program, or project that will be described in the session, as well as the intended learning objectives and outcomes for the session.
  • Evidence and impact: The proposal should describe how the initiative, program, or project includes evidence or research-informed decision-making and has achieved, or is on track to achieve, measurable results.
  • Future-readiness: Is the initiative scalable, sustainable, and adaptable? Is it designed to meet new or emerging needs, and can it be adapted to remain relevant in an uncertain future?  
  • Lived experience expertise: The presentation should consider the perspectives of clients and/or communities with lived experiences. Priority will be given to those that demonstrate a commitment to community-led or community-informed work and meaningful co-design.
