The Networking Awards Program links researchers and human and material resources, building critical mass across health research applications, institutions, organizations and regions. The aim is to build capacity, facilitate and enhance BC's ability to address health issues, improve competitiveness for external funding by aligning health research in the province with national and international research and funding priorities, and facilitate the translation of health research knowledge into evidence-based decision-making and policy.
