Message from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

We invite you to share your input on the National Oral Health Research Strategy (NOHRS).

We are in very early stages of developing the NOHRS, following initial discussions at the launch event held in Ottawa this March. This preliminary meeting involved a small but representative group of 70 individuals from across the oral health research community, health researchers from other disciplines, professional bodies, and patient and public partners.

We are aware that many other people and organizations have expressed interest in the NOHRS process and are very grateful for this high level of engagement. The next step for co-creating the strategy is to consult more widely, in order to gain the broadest possible input. This collaborative approach is paramount to generating a meaningful NOHRS.

A series of opportunities to provide input on the strategy will culminate in the anticipated publication of the NOHRS in March 2024.

At this stage, the steering committee is seeking feedback on research themes and priorities via this survey. We suggest that you complete this survey by June 21, 2023 so that your feedback can be taken into consideration.

More information is available on the CIHR-IMHA website along with an Executive Summary.
