From Research to Policy

The Manitoba Centre for Health Policy and Evaluation has now had eight years of experience as an academic research unit interfacing with policymakers. Most of our research has focused on the determinants of health and on the delivery of health care from a population perspective. Each project that we have undertaken has made its own contribution and reinforced or built on the contribution of others. By communicating closely with policymakers at all levels, while maintaining an arm's-length relationship and the right of publication, MCHPE acts as a knowledgeable non-stakeholder with a commitment to inform the broader public.
