The Douglas Research Centre (DRC) is the first research organization entirely dedicated to mental health to adopt Open Science at the institutional level in Canada. After a 1-year buy-in project supported by the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute (TOSI), in 2021 the DRC announced five guiding principles for Open Science implementation. These principles were defined through an extensive needs assessment with the DRC community, and reflect our desire to broadly share our knowledge while safeguarding sensitive data from research participants. With ongoing support from TOSI and the Douglas Foundation, we now embark onto the implementation phase of our Open Science program.
