2022 Health System Impact (HSI) fellows
Health Research BC is pleased to be partnering with CIHR’s Institute of Health Services and Policy Research to co-fund eight of 11 2022 Health System Impact fellows in BC, supporting the development of BC’s health policy talent while addressing pressing policy issues in our province.
Partnering with CIHR allows Health Research BC to support more BC fellows through partnership, reduce duplication in the system, and build capacity for the integration of policy research into decision-making, one of the goals of our Health Policy Fellowship Program. These researchers are part of a national cohort of 43 individuals based throughout Canada.
