health research in Canada from teaching hospitals, universities, regional

health professional organizations, and governments came to
gether to develop a vision and a strategic plan
of action for
health research in Canada that would critically respond to the policy questions that governments

It's a strategic plan that proposes steps to increase collaboration and coordination of effort among health research funding organizations and programs at the federal and provincial levels, including those within the private and health charity sectors, and sets us on a course to develop accountability metrics for measuring returns on health research investments.
