Summaries of Research Results
Health Canada's Health Policy Research Program (HPRP)
was created in 2001 to increase the quantity of academic research
that is directly relevant to current and future health policy issues.
The Program supports primary, secondary, synthesis research, or
a policy research workshop.
The Research Management and Dissemination Division (RMDD)
of the Applied Research and Analysis Directorate (ARAD)
releases Executive Summaries of the HPRP
research results as they become available.
