BC SUPPORT Unit Information

The BC SUPPORT Unit, part of Health Research BC, empowers research and care teams to collaborate with a patient-oriented research approach. We move this evidence, developed with patients and communities, into practice. By bringing together researchers, patients, policymakers, clinicians, health system leaders, and Indigenous communities and partners, we catalyze solutions to real health system challenges. Our expert services, data access, training, and implementation support ensures research evidence improves care and informs health policy. We’re founded under Canada’s Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research, a national initiative led by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. We’re funded by the Government of Canada and the Province of BC.
