National Alliance of Provincial Health Research Organizations

The National Alliance of Province Health Research Organizations (NAPHRO) was created in 2003 to promote increased dialogue, linkages and partnership activities. Alliance members meet two to three times a year to share information and identify potential opportunities for working collaboratively on common issues.

Co-Chairs

Since July 2008, the alliance has been co-chaired by Ms. June Bold, CEO of the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation, and Ms. Krista Connell, CEO of the Nova Scotia Health Research Foundation.

Past Co-Chairs:

  • 2004-2006: Dr. Aubrey Tingle (Founding President & CEO, Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research) and Ms. Krista Connell (CEO, Nova Scotia Health Research Foundation)
  • 2007-2008: Dr. Alain Beaudet, (President and CEO of the Fonds de la recherché en santé du Quebec) and Ms. June Bold (CEO of the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation)

Examples of common interests NAPHRO members share

  • Increased knowledge of peer agency programs and activities;
  • Identifying opportunities for collaboration (e.g. platform technologies, clinical research support initiatives);
  • Evaluating the impact of health research;
  • Strategies for working more effectively with national agencies in the planning, implementation and evaluation of programs requiring matching or partnership funds;
  • Developing the Interprovincial Directory of Health Researchers;
  • Fostering health services and clinical research.

Contacting NAPHRO

Anyone wishing to communicate with the provincial health research funding agencies should deal directly with each agency. There is, however, some opportunity to share information with NAPHRO agencies at their meetings. To arrange such an opportunity, please contact one of the co-chairs. NAPHRO members are listed below, including links to their respective websites:
