In concert with the provincial government, the Council will assume four chief roles, to:
1. Design a health research strategy for Ontario
2. Leverage and Distribute Health Research Funding
3. Facilitate commercialization
4. Facilitate knowledge translation and evaluate impact of research
Any health research strategy set by the Council will need to be informed by the imperative for knowledge translation. The Council will need to work closely with organizations that are accountable for facilitating such knowledge translation. The Council will improve health care in Ontario by fostering knowledge translation, building receptivity to research and facilitating the introduction of new ideas and technologies to clinical and health policy settings.
In summary, the Council will weave together the many moving parts of Ontario’s health research enterprise, improving the efficiency of delivery of new discoveries, providing evidence for best practice, and a stronger health-based economy for our province. It would harness our collective innovation and direct it intelligently into the future.
