Who We Are

For more than a decade, the Foundation has brought researchers and decision makers together to create and apply knowledge to improve health services for Canadians.

The Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit corporation, established with endowed funds from the federal government and its agencies. Together with our partners, we have helped Canada to become an international leader in evidence-informed decision-making.

As an incubator of innovation, we strive to find new ways to use the results of research to improve the Canadian healthcare system, and to be a national resource for change.

What We Do

We work with our partners to fund research that will explore solutions to problems. We provide opportunities for healthcare decision makers to shape, and then use, the knowledge generated by that research. To do this, we:

provide research funding opportunities
offer training opportunities for senior decision makers
support training and personal development
create user-friendly research results
organize innovative skill-building events and activities
recognize excellence and achievement

Our Vision

A strong healthcare system driven by solid, research-informed management and policy decisions.

Our Mission

To support evidence-informed decision-making in the organization, management and delivery of health services through funding research, building capacity and transferring knowledge.
