Université de Montréal Public Health Research Institute (IRSPUM)

The IRSPUM’s mission is to produce state-of-the-art knowledge and to increase synergy among researchers in different disciplines, to respond to the major current and future challenges in public health, to develop extensive partnerships with decision-makers and practitioners so as to encourage critical thinking about the practices used and to support innovation in interventions and research. Finally the IRSPUM aims to ensure maximum knowledge transfer and uptake.

The scientific programming at the IRSPUM is structured around five main research areas (RTM), concerned with the improvement of population health and the governance of health systems: Social Determinants of Health; Environments and Health; Health Systems; Global Health; From Knowledge to Action.
