National Partnership to Advance Population and Public Health Research and Knowledge Exchange

In April 2005, IPPH and its key partners, the Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA), the Canadian Population Health Initiative (CPHI), and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) signed a landmark cooperative agreement to enable all partners to create synergies and leverage their efforts to advance population and public health.

This partnership signals a collective dedication to respond effectively within Canada's rapidly shifting population and public health landscape.
