PEI Health Research Program

Where can I find information about health research being conducted on PEI?

IN THE 1999 BUDGET, the Government of PEI announced the establishment of a Health Research Program. It is an unfortunate fact that our region and Province have the highest rate of asthma in the country. It is also an unfortunate reality many Islanders suffer from cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes. In an effort to address these issues, the Government of Prince Edward Island has established a $2 million Health Research Program.
The Health Research Fund provides $2 million over several years to support and enhance research capacity while increasing our understanding of health services, health systems, and diseases in PEI. It is intended to support and promote Island research and evidence-based decision making throughout the PEI health system. The Fund will result in changes that will have a positive impact in the promotion, prevention and management of certain diseases and in the delivery of health services.
The Health Research Program is intended to provide base financial support to allow researchers to access other sources of health research funding. Assessment of research projects will give due consideration to the following priorities: cost matching by another agency or organization, involving Island based researchers, and providing economic benefit to PEI. The Guidelines for the Health Research Program outline the details of the Program.
