Welcome to Collaborations for Health
McMaster University is a research intensive university with a history and culture of collaboration that attracts investigators interested in working across disciplinary boundaries. It is also a leader in health research and education. Collaborations for Health will advance cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research that will help establish McMaster as the premier health university in Canada.
Health is multi-dimensional and demands to be viewed through multiple perspectives in order to address complex challenges. Interdisciplinary collaboration to develop health-related research and educational initiatives is ongoing at McMaster, and has contributed to the University’s international reputation for excellence and leadership in providing solutions to major health dilemmas.
The Collaborations for Health initiative expands McMaster’s capacity to address health-related challenges by providing an infrastructure that involves all faculties, mobilizes campus-wide strengths, streamlines administrative processes and capitalizes on external partnerships.
We invite you to explore this website to learn how you can become involved in Collaborations for Health.
