Since 1999, researchers from the Saskatchewan Population Health and Evaluation Research Unit (SPHERU), have conducted population health research with the mission to promote health equity by addressing population health disparities through policy-relevant research. Led by researchers Bonnie Jeffery at the U of R and Nazeem Muhajarine at the U of S, the group has a permanent presence in Saskatoon, Regina, and Prince Albert, and conducts research with communities across the province.

Building on SPHERU's years of expertise and extensive knowledge in population health research, the program “Population Health Intervention Research: Addressing Health Inequities in Vulnerable Populations” is applying an interdisciplinary approach. The research will take place in rural and urban Saskatchewan communities (Watrous, Wolseley, Ile-a-la-Crosse, Saskatoon) and will be completed with the collaboration of community partners and policy makers.

The ultimate goal for SPHERU's research program is to help reduce health inequities in Saskatchewan's most vulnerable populations, including children and both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal seniors, in rural and remote communities as well as urban environments
