National Oral Health Research Strategy

This inaugural National Oral Health Research Strategy (NOHRS) was announced at the Canadian Oral Health Summit in Halifax in June 2024.

The NOHRS informs governments and decision-makers, funding agencies, researchers and their organizations, health care practitioners, the public and others to focus both on emerging, priority issues for Canadian society and on innovative methodological and technological approaches to address these issues. The oral health research community in Canada is a small but dynamic group and this NOHRS can help expand its numbers and skills, as well as its integration with other health research and ultimately support improving oral health and reducing inequities among people living in Canada.

The NOHRS is a collaboration between the Canadian Institutes of Health Research’s Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis, Canadian Association for Dental Research, Association of Canadian Faculties of Dentistry, Network for Canadian Oral Health Research, Canadian Dental Association, Denturist Association of Canada, Canadian Dental Therapists Association and Canadian Dental Hygienists Association.
