Organizational Framework The foundation of PHRI

< back

The Population Health Research Institute is organized both by research program specialties and by a supporting organization structure. The research program specialties are principled on the interests and passion of our researchers. Some of PHRI's researchers support more than one program specialty leading one or more study in a specific field of interest. PHRI fosters a culture of scientific collaboration across programs resulting in many researchers building cross-cutting experiences and developing new innovative studies that continue to increase our program capabilities.

Research Program Specialties

Organization Structure

The PHRI organizational structure provides support to the program specialties through enabling central and coordinated research departments. Leaders of the supporting departments are members of a coordination committee responsible for operating policies and procedures, and efficient resourcing across PHRI to manage the needs of each program.

Governance Structure

Executive Committee
The PHRI Executive Committee sets scientific strategic priorities for the organization, identifying and discussing new and emerging health research areas and establishing objectives based on scientific interest and capabilities. This committee meets up to ten times per year and hosts broader strategic retreats up to two times per year to identify and carry out its goals. This meeting is regularly chaired by the Executive Director, however, available co-chairs include the Deputy Director or either of the Associate Directors. Committee membership includes senior researchers and a cross representation of members from the Coordination Committee.
