The initiative on Official Language Minority Communities (OLMC) has a mandate to promote the study of health determinants and specific needs on these two communities, increase the number of researchers interested in these issues and to ensure that newly created knowledge is transmitted to researchers and clinicians with the view of improving health of Canadian populations. This initiative is playing a high-profile nationwide role in strengthening OLMC research capacity and developing partnerships between the Institutes and health research organizations focused on an interdisciplinary, inter-institutional and context-based approach. This approach aims to promote collaborative research projects, train new researchers, increase knowledge dissemination and application and promote the official language minority communities.
