The Missing Persons Research Hub

The Missing Persons Research Hub (the Hub) is a national networking forum and research hub for the field of missing persons in Canada. The Hub provides a centralized location for research, information, publications, researchers, science communication, and resources, among others.

 It also centralizes access to all of the above contributions to any interested parties and those working in this field. The Hub supports and facilitates the growth of evidence-based/evidence-informed missing persons work to build research evidence from which to draw sound policy and practice. 

Ultimately, the main goal of the Hub is increase and advance Canadian scholarship on missing persons and carve out a dedicated space for this work nationally and across various sectors. 

By communicating research, connecting researchers, providing networking opportunities, educating, and centralizing access, the Hub supports efforts aimed at preventing and reducing the problem of missingness.
