Institute of Gender and Health: a portrait of innovation and health research growth.
نویسنده
چکیده
Since 2000, we have witnessed the unprecedented creation and growth of a national research institute devoted to the study of gender and health. The launch of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Institute of Gender and Health (IGH) represented the culmination of recommendations by researchand policy-influencing groups in Canada. The Institute fosters research about women’s and girls’ health, men’s and boys’ health, and gender, sex and health. No other country has created a national research institute dedicated to gender and health. IGH funds the full spectrum of health research, encompassing the themes of biomedicine, clinical practice, population health and health services. This funded research is often conducted by multidisciplinary, collaborative research teams. IGH is led by a Scientific Director, Dr. Miriam Stewart, who is a professor in the Faculty of Nursing and professor of public health sciences in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Alberta. Over the past five years, the Institute has created extensive opportunities for researchers representing nursing and other disciplines to generate new knowledge and build research capacity. Nurses have played key roles in funded grants and awards, peer reviews, advisory boards, CIHR Governing Council and Institute leadership (Alcock 2002).
