IMHA wishes to support innovative health research that will lead to excellence in research and knowledge translation/exchange within both its strategic initiatives and its broader mandate. To this end, IMHA will support a spectrum of activities aimed at research development and knowledge translation/exchange via its Workshop Program. This Program, as elaborated by its Institute Advisory Board, is highly strategic. It is designed to bring together people to interact (cross-pillar and multi-disciplinary) and to further define unmet research needs in one or more of the Institute's six foci areas - arthritis, MSK rehabilitation, bone, skeletal muscle, skin and oral health - and one or more of its three strategic research priorities as noted above.
