The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Healthy Cities Research Initiative (HCRI) is a strategic program with the overarching goal of improving health in Canada by ensuring urban environments are maximizing their health-promoting potential and minimizing their harms. Over eight years (2019-2027), CIHR and partners will invest more than $30 million into research, training and knowledge translation activities to improve the design, implementation and impact of urban health interventions.
The Healthy Cities Research Initiative is co-led by seven CIHR institutes: Institute of Population and Public Health (IPPH), Institute of Aging (IA), Institute of Gender and Health (IGH), Institute of Health Services and Policy Research (IHSPR), Institute of Indigenous Peoples’ Health (IIPH), Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis (IMHA), Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes (INMD).
