The CIHR-Institute of Population and Public Health (IPPH) is pleased to announce the launch of its Call for Solutions for the Sparking Population Health Solutions 2016 International Summit. The Summit aims to:

• Catalyze dialogue about what policies and programs in health and other sectors work to improve population health status and health equity in Canada and globally;
• Ignite new collaborative and interdisciplinary relationships by networking researchers, decision-makers, and research funders;
• Debate how population health intervention research (PHIR) can add value to research, policy and practice;
  
• Stimulate review and publication of manuscripts arising from the Summit; and, 
  
• Accelerate a forward-looking research agenda by identifying 'catalytic questions' for where the field of population health and health equity research, including PHIR, needs to go next.

The IPPH led summit will be hosted in Ottawa on April 25-28, 2016. All information about this summit can be found on the website at www.sparkingsolutions.ca.
