Grant: CIHR Inst. Summer Prog.-Host Plan. Gr.-CIHR-IPPH Summer Inst. Public Health Sys.

We propose a public health systems and services (PHSSR) summer institute hosted at the University of Saskatchewan to bring trainees and scholars from across the country together. Here we will engage trainees in the foundational elements of PHSSR, why it is more important than ever and the rigor involved in conducting PHSSR research projects in Canada. We are leveraging our unique partnership with the Urban Public Health Network at the University of Saskatchewan to bring real-world problems to the fore in a collaborative environment in order to spark and maintain Canadian PHSSR capacity.
