2.4: Knowledge

Strengthen capacity to enhance knowledge access, appraisal, sharing and application

Other Information:

Streamlined surveillance, supported by information regulations and aligned science and research will provide a strong foundation for a focus on knowledge translation and partnerships. PHAC will strengthen its internal capacity to enhance knowledge access, appraisal, sharing and application across programs. A more effective knowledge translation function in the Agency will support evidence-based actions on public health. However, this work will also necessitate key strategic partnerships with organizations such as the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the National Collaborating Centres for Public Health, building on existing strengths and facilitating the sharing of knowledge that can be put into practice at all levels of the public health system across Canada.
