2. An assessment of gaps and analysis of needs with respect to public health research and knowledge transfer.
3. An environmental scan of other key sources of research and knowledge transfer for public health units, such as universities, ICES, CIHI, Health Intelligence Units, Ontario Health Promotion Resource System members.
4. Recommendations for an appropriate vision to inform the design of the mandate and structure for a research and knowledge transfer system, including the potential roles of the Health Protection and Promotion Agency, that support and enable more effective public health programs and policies and that is anchored in public health needs.
