Population Health Intervention Research Initiative for Canada
Envisioned as a ten-year initiative, the Population Health Intervention Research Initiative for Canada (PHIRIC) was established to bring a more coherent focus and plan to these efforts. PHIRIC aims to increase the quantity, quality and use of population health intervention research in Canada through a strategic and deliberate alignment of initiatives by key organizations responsible for public health research, policy and practice. PHIRIC was launched in September 2006 and is guided by a strategic alliance of individuals and organizations that develops plans to facilitate the necessary alignment of organizational priorities, investments, and activities.
