About CHR
CHR was founded in 1976 as an association of individuals and organizations committed to encouraging communication among the public, the scientific community and government and to promoting the stability and quality of Canadian health research.
CHR is a voluntary, nonprofit national organization that does not raise funds for research. It does require funds to cover the costs of educational functions and the publication of its quarterly magazine, Future Health.
CHR is not a lobby organization and receives no government funding.
CHR supporters are individuals, families, voluntary associations, scientific/medical societies and corporations who endorse the need for improved awareness of and public advocacy for Canadian health research.
