Partnering in Community Health Research (PCHR) (Vancouver, Canada) is a collaborative training program that provides training for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and community program practitioners and specialists. Working in partnership, program participants learn research skills required to resolve actual and urgent community health problems. PCHR is funded by Canadian Institutes for Health Research and Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research.

PCHR’s most innovative feature is the creation of community-based learning environments, called clusters. Clusters act as issue-based points of contact for experienced professors, practitioners, and executives to serve as mentors for our learners. We currently have three clusters that have chosen the following research areas:

  • Vulnerable Populations/Community Health Services Research: health literacy and local community capacity-building, and primary care renewal, with a focus on chronic disease management
  • Workplace Health Research: developing and evaluating interventions to reduce injuries in healthcare organizations

Funding is available to a select number of applicants for graduate positions. We hope you’ll agree that this is a unique and exciting opportunity for students interested in research-to-practice and policy issues.
