  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE: June 14, 2005 Health care leaders create Canada’s first national health advisory body The Canadian Academy of Health Sciences will give Government and the public comprehensive expertise and advice on health issues EDMONTON - When the President of the United States wants advice on a public health issue, he calls the United States’ National Academies. When the Prime Minister of Great Britain wants to seek similar counsel, he usually turns to the Royal Society of Britain. But when the Prime Minister of Canada wants similar advice, who does he call? Well, that’s not always entirely clear, given the more narrowly defined mandates of many Canadian organizations. Now, however, owing to a recent initiative by a group of leading health care leaders and researchers, the Prime Minister will be able to call the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS), recently created to: • Develop informed, strategic assessments on urgent health issues; • Inform public policy on these issues; • Enhance Canada’s readiness to deal with global health issues; and, • Provide a recognized and authoritative Canadian health science voice internationally. According to one of the Academy’s key organizers, the establishment of the Academy is long over due—and all the more pressing given the potential global health threats to Canadians, most recently exemplified by the SARS threat. “Ask Canadians what they care about most, and they answer unequivocally: ‘health,’” explains University of Alberta Professor of Medicine Paul Armstrong, CAHS’s first president. “It makes sense, therefore, that Canada should have an organization that government—and Canadians—can turn to for sound, impartial advice and research on pressing health issues.” The organization will also have an international role to play, representing Canada’s interests abroad and working closely with other nations’ parallel agencies.

  • Prospectus for a Major Assessment: the Return on Investments in Health Research
    Prospectus for a Major Assessment: The Return on Investments in Health Research: Defining the Best Metrics Prepared by the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences May 2007 WO The Return on Investments in Canadian Health Research – The Situation Investments in health research have increased significantly across Canada over the past decade. Naturally, and justifiably, with these greater investments come increased expectations. In addition, the widening diversity of stakeholders engaged in and/or supporting health research has led to a broader range of anticipated outcomes. These expectations include: 1] better health; 2] greater life expectancy; 3] translation of research findings into improvements in quality of life; 4] informed public policy on health related issues across the full spectrum of government and private sector activity; 5] new commercial opportunities within and beyond Canadian borders; 6] increased attraction of the next generation to pursue careers in health research and the health sector; 7] a better ‘state of readiness” for the unexpected threats to health that inevitably develop in the contemporary world. In parallel with these expectations, a confluence of factors has placed intense focus on understanding what return our society receives for the investments made in health research. Some of these include: • lack of public understanding of the value of research and its applicability to current issues in health care at a time of unsurpassed concern about accessible, affordable, high quality health care in a publicly funded
