- Strategic Plan in Action
We chose the unifying approach Partnerships for Better Health deliberately, to reflect the value we place on working with partners.
Partners include other CIHR Institutes, PWLE, research funders within the national and international health research ecosystem and scientists across Canada. This unifying approach was co-created with the ICRH community and reflects the central tenet of partnerships around which all Institute actions and investments will be linked.
Partnerships for Better Health underscores the rich and respectful relationship ICRH has with community partners and recognizes that partnering with others is how we can collectively maximize health impacts.
Our unifying approach also reflects our shared values, which will guide us in the application of our strategic decision-making framework and is embedded in our three strategic priorities and two foundational themes.
As areas for use of Institute resources are identified, the three strategic priorities and two foundational themes along with the identified goals and strategies will then be applied to maximize the informed investments and activities ICRH undertakes for the duration of The Plan. These efforts will be further amplified and leveraged through the central tenet of partnerships.
Long description
A Central Tenet:
- Partnerships: To enhance existing and build new partnerships with other Institutes, with CIHR, and with external partners, including people with lived and/or living experience.
Two Foundational Themes:
- Strengthening Indigenous Health Research (IHR): To continue to champion the conduct of research led by Indigenous Peoples and people with demonstrated culturally safe engagement with Indigenous communities; and,
- Enhancing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in Health Research: To support ICRH mandate area activities that are conducted on and/or by those who represent the diversity and intersectionality of ICRH community members and stakeholders.
Three Strategic Priorities:
- Preparing Future Capacity: To attract, retain and develop future research and knowledge leaders within the Institute mandate areas;
- Accelerating Knowledge Through Collaboration: To create and support innovative purpose-driven research collaborations to generate knowledge within the Institute mandate areas; and,
- Catalyzing Impact Through Knowledge Mobilization (KM): To maximize the application and impact of new and existing knowledge created by and for the ICRH research community.
