A capacity building initiative for rural community health research in Northern Newfoundland and coastal Labrador

Rural physicians are well positioned to conduct impactful community-based research but their research progress is often impeded by scarce funding and a lack of research assistance to bring projects to fruition. These issues are profound in Northern Newfoundland and coastal Labrador (NNCL), some of the most geographically remote areas of the province. We are seeking to enhance the subthemes of rural health economics, aboriginal health, community engagement, knowledge translation, healthcare innovation & outcomes, medical education united by the overall goal of social accountability: research for and about NNCL communities and citizens.
