Welcome to the PCHR website!
CIHR/MSFHR Strategic Training Program Grant in Partnering in Community Health Research (PCHR)
PCHR's most unique and innovative feature is the creation of community-based learning environments. This approach means shared learning across diverse university and community target groups through problem-based teamwork on actual community research priorities.
The three target learner groups are graduate students from multiple disciplines and programs, transdisciplinary postdoctoral fellows, and community program managers/learners/policy makers.
PCHR is designed to increase collaboration between community health workers/professionals and university researchers. Our goal is to foster interdisciplinary community health research and evidence-based health policies and practices.
PCHR is aimed at:
* fostering research targeted at urgent local community health needs;
* strengthening the linkage between research and policy/practice; and
* promoting interdisciplinary health research.
