Background

About Erwan Leclair

I’m a strategic and analytical professional with over 15 years of experience in academic and research settings, where data, people, and ideas come together to shape better systems, programs, and communities. From coordinating research networks across institutions to developing tools that turn complex data into actionable insights, I thrive at the intersection of science, planning, and impact. Currently, I serve as Scientific Coordinator for the QPRN FRQ Thematic Network, where I lead initiatives that bring together researchers and partners. I've built research consortia from the ground up, managed large-scale funding programs, organized major scientific events, and led innovative knowledge mobilization efforts; including podcasts, videos, and articles that expand the reach and relevance of research. Previously, I held research associate roles in both Canada and France, managing clinical and preclinical projects, securing grants, mentoring students, and publishing peer-reviewed work. Whether I’m interpreting performance metrics, building community through multi-channel outreach, or mentoring the next generation of researchers, my goal is always the same: connect people, knowledge, and strategy to make research more meaningful and accessible. Let’s connect if you’re interested in research coordination, institutional strategy, or knowledge mobilization in academic, health, or non-profit sectors.
