OUR STRATEGY 2022-2025

We are British Columbia’s health research agency. Our ambition is to inspire and connect curious, creative and passionate minds to drive discovery and innovation for better health and health care. We support the people who do and use health research and we strengthen the system in which they work.

 

In 2022, the BC government confirmed three years of funding for Health Research BC to advance research across the province. Our 2022–2025 strategy reflects our niche in BC’s health research system, our 20+ year track record and our existing strengths.
