Parliamentary Health Research Caucus
Advancements in health research improve our lives and lead to tangible economic benefits for Canada.
Through the Parliamentary Health Research Caucus (PHRC), Research Canada engages elected officials, policy-makers and key industry stakeholders to advocate for long-term, sustainable health research funding that spurs innovation and ensures that Canadian citizens are among the healthiest in the world.
Advocating for excellence, educating for change.
Created in 2009 by Senator Wilbert Keon and Research Canada, the Parliamentary Health Research Caucus is a non-partisan, “owned by Parliamentarians” forum that engages all Parliamentarians in luncheon and reception events organized by Research Canada. Caucus events showcase Canadian health research and health innovation, raising awareness among elected officials about the social and economic benefits derived from the country’s health research enterprise.
