National women's health data & research platform - Major Project
Recommendation: That the Government of Canada, in partnership with the Women’s Health Collective Canada and the Partnership for Women’s Health Research Canada, provide initial funding of $10-12 million to WHCC and PWHR for 2026/27 fiscal year to establish a Pan-Canadian Women’s Health Data and Research Innovation Platform.
The national women’s health data and research platform will serve as national knowledge infrastructure to harmonize existing patient and research data, and enable coordinated cohort studies with linked biobanking, clinical trial infrastructure, and AI-enabled innovation in women’s health research across Canada.
Federal funding will be leveraged using additional provincial, philanthropic, academic, and private sector investment. This public-private partnership will support collaboration across research institutes, health systems, and innovation partners nationwide.
Investment from the Government of Canada is an important first step in laying the foundation for a national women’s health research and data initiative. Beyond this initial phase, we will seek the federal government’s continued partnership and investment to support future phases in establishing Canada’s first national women’s health innovation data platform in a manner which will serve the national interest.Read more
