AcademyHealth's Changes in Health Care Financing and Organization (HCFO), a
program of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, strives to bridge the health policy and
health services research communities by reaching two primary objectives: to provide
public and private decision-makers with usable and timely information on health care
policy, financing, and market developments, and to bring together the policy and research
communities through significant convening, issues identification, research translation,
and communication activities.

Canadian Health Services Research Foundation has just launched a new online
resource. “Each resource is gathered and assessed by the foundation to help organizations
find, assess, interpret, and apply research evidence to inform health system policy and
management decisions. The resources are classified per various phases — acquire, assess,
adapt, and apply — to ensure relevant tools are easily available for the user.”

Centres of Excellence for Women's Health “represent a unique multi-disciplinary partnership among academics, community-based organizations and policy makers.” To
date, the Centres have produced more than 300 research reports. “Their aim is to inform
the policy process and generate knowledge about the determinants of women's health,
including gender and diversity. While regionally-based, the Centres of Excellence
research has regional, national and international policy applications.” Its database,
managed by the Canadian Women's Health Network (CWHN), can be used to “locate research projects and publications funded through the Women's Health Contribution
Program.”
