Developing Provincial Networks for Health Outcomes and Public Health Research: Engage, align, and act

This full day workshop was planned to inform Alberta's public health and health services researchers about networking opportunities in the changing landscape of research. The purpose was also to determine next steps in provincial cooperation, that is, to understand how investigator- and practice-driven provincial networks can optimally interact with Strategic Clinical Networks, and benefit from provincial resources such as the CIHR Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research methodological support unit (SPOR).

Introducing . . . the Institute for Public Health

December 2, 2011 marked an important milestone in the evolution of the Institute for Public Health - it is the day we launched our new name and logo.

First established in 2009 as the Calgary Institute for Population and Public Health, the Institute is the seventh and newest University of Calgary research institute within the Faculty of Medicine. While the Institute's original name was created to represent the scope of work and to identify the home-base of the Institute, the evolution of the Institute over the past two years required a careful examination of where we are going and how we want to position ourselves.

The name, Institute for Public Health, was chosen to encompass the core themes of health services and population and public health included within the Institute's mandate. The new logo (which depicts a 'speech bubble') reflects our commitment to inform and engage in dialogue with members, key stakeholders, and collaborators.

Our new name and logo reflects our commitment to engage with our diverse community and our new tagline emphasizes our collective aim - to innovate for health and health care.
