• First Global Symposium on Health Systems Research

  Dr. Colleen M. Flood, Scientific Director of CIHR-IHSPR, was invited to participate in a plenary session on Knowledge Translation at the First Global Symposium on Health Systems Research, which took place in Montreux, Switzerland from November 16-19, 2010. Dr. Flood's presentation, titled "Translating Health Services and Systems Research into Policy and Practice," provided the over 1200 Symposium attendees from more than 100 countries with an introduction to CIHR, its integrated KT programs, and the success that programs like Evidence on Tap and Partnerships for Health System Improvement are having on evidence-informed policy-making. The Symposium concluded with a call for greater investment and capacity building in health systems research and creating a new international society for health systems research, knowledge and innovation. A webcast of Dr. Flood's plenary presentation and others is now online. (Note: The text on the webcast site is in English only, but the webcasts are available in both French and English)
