The CPHR Training Program is a Saskatchewan-based population health training initiative delivered by the Saskatchewan Population Health and Evaluation Research Unit (SPHERU) and supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan. Over 30 different researchers and scholars from 10 different disciplines, joined by 17 internationally renowned guest lecturers, will mentor Strategic Training Fellows (STFs) in new ways of framing research questions, applying research methodologies and disseminating research knowledge to influence public policies. All STFs will work on a research project that fits within one of SPHERU’s research programs. SPHERU is also involved in applied research examining capacity-building approaches to community health programs. For more information on these research programs, visit: www.spheru.ca
