Interdisciplinary Health Research

Enabling innovative collaborations to address pressing and emerging health challenges

UBC Health’s Role in Supporting Interdisciplinary Health Research

We design and deliver programs that spark collaboration in health research. Our initiatives foster communities of practice, support new research partnerships, and contribute to provincial health priorities. We aim to help researchers at UBC work together to address the pressing and interconnected challenges that affect the health and well-being of communities. In this work, we also act as a bridge between university-based researchers and the health sector, supporting the exchange and mobilization of knowledge. 

We are committed to enabling:

  • Growth in interdisciplinary health research and knowledge mobilization
  • Better alignment of data, policies, and processes across UBC to support applied health research
  • Research approaches and data use that confront systemic racism and inequities and that include the voices and experiences of all populations
