National Oral Health Research Strategy

About This Project

Summary

Created by the oral health research community across Canada, the National Oral Health Research Strategy is aimed at advancing the health of Canadians in the face of a rapidly changing world. It 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.

Goals & Objectives

Working with a national team of stakeholders across six time zones, and collaborating with illustrator Kathleen Fu, Significant Other created a visual language for the Strategy that is accessible, inclusive and puts its focus on the health of all Canadians.

Results & Impact

The NOHRS was unveiled recently during the Canadian Oral Health Summit to much acclaim, and has already begun influencing new approaches, research priorities and funding decisions for oral health research across Canada.
