Description: |
In 2009, CIHR released a new strategic plan, Health Research Roadmap, which highlights the need to accelerate the capture of health and economic benefits of health research. To support this strategic direction, the CIHR KT Branch has partnered with the Health Canada Strategic Policy Branch to help foster positive exchanges between health researchers and policy makers, helping to bridge the gap between the worlds of science and policy making. The CIHR KT Branch and the Health Canada Strategic Policy Branch will provide support through short-term policy assignments at Health Canada for highly qualified individuals who are engaged in health research at PhD, post-doctoral and researcher levels to participate in and contribute to the policy making processes while learning first-hand about the science policy interface. At Health Canada, the science policy interface is considered to be the juncture at which the technical world of describing evidence and the political world of making policy interact, using the best available evidence towards informed decision-making. A science policy interface occurs wherever 'facts' and 'values' are combined to inform decisions (where scientific evidence and the development of policy or risk management strategies meet). Provide highly qualified candidates at the doctoral, post-doctoral, new investigator and mid-senior investigator stages of health research with the opportunity to learn more about current Canadian health policy activities and the science/policy interface. Health Canada supervisors and sponsoring host branches/directorates/divisions may choose to provide letters of support to more than one applicant. However, a sponsoring Health Canada supervisor cannot host more than two (2) fellows per competition and can only host one fellow per assignment. Furthermore, applicants may only apply for one (1) assignment at Health Canada. Applicants may approach multiple qualified Health Canada supervisors to help identify the best fit, but must ultimately choose one assignment for their application |
