APrON has received over $24 million in funding since the original $5 million investment in 2009. We are grateful for our funders for providing us the opportunity to conduct important research.
APrON recently received $1.125 million from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).

Our goal will be to understand how early life shapes mental health through considering the role of prenatal to school-aged factors and exploring how these factors influence gene expression.
