CIHR is the Government of Canada's agency for health research. Its objective is: "To excel, according to internationally accepted standards of scientific excellence, in the creation of new knowledge and its translation into improved health for Canadians, more effective health services and products and a strengthened Canadian health care system." Composed of thirteen Institutes, CIHR provides leadership and support to more than 8,000 researchers and research teams across Canada. One of CIHR's thirteen Institutes, the Institute of Aboriginal Peoples' Health
(CIHR - IAPH) supports research to address the special health needs of Aboriginal people in Canada.
CIHR-IAPH plays a lead role in building health research capacity in the First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities. CIHR-IAPH also engages in partnerships and alliances between aboriginal communities and non-aboriginal health research organizations and institutes at the local, regional, national and international levels.
