Text SizeHealth of Population Networks
The Health of Population Networks involved health researchers across British Columbia who:
- shared an interest in conducting health research relating to specific population groups, and/or the dissemination of that research, and/or using the results of research; and
- were supported by a formal coordinating structure that provided a forum for interactions and sharing of information and resources to increase research capacity and ultimately to improve the health of these population groups.
Funding for the eight Networks ended on March 31, 2010.
Network Accomplishments
Over the last five plus years, the Health of Population Networks experienced success in developing partnerships both among researchers, and between researchers and other stakeholders, on local, provincial and national levels. The Networks enhanced the research training environment for trainees, and fostered knowledge dissemination and knowledge transfer activities throughout the research community. These accomplishments helped build a strong foundation for the future of health research in this province.
Each of the eight Networks made unique contributions to the BC research community that will provide a legacy for health researchers in the future.
