Partnerships for Health System Improvement Program (with CIHR) 

The Partnerships for Health System Improvement (PHSI) Program is a CIHR partnership initiative run by the Institute for Health Services and Policy Research (IHSPR). It is designed to support teams of researchers and decision-makers interested in conducting applied health services research useful to health system managers and or policy makers within the next five years. SHRF manages Saskatchewan’s provincial funds for this program and will provide the required matching funds, subject to resource availability and fit with provincial priority areas. 

Applications go directly to CIHR for review, but, prior to submission, applicants are required to submit CIHR’s Partnership Module to SHRF to request matching funds and to provide information on the proposed research, budget, and requested funds. Further details about this program, including SHRF-specific requirements, are available on CHIR’s website
