About Us

For more than a decade, CHSRF has brought researchers and decision-makers together to create and apply knowledge to improve health services for Canadians. CHSRF is an independent, not-for-profit corporation, established with endowed funds from the federal government and its agencies, and incorporated under the Canada Corporations Act.

We bring researchers and decision-makers together to understand each other's goals and professional culture, to forge new partnerships and to influence each other's work.

Together with our partners, we have helped Canada to become an international leader in evidence-informed decision-making.
