CHiAPRT advocates for enhanced multisectoral action and capacity in research-to-policy translation through Health in All Policies and Research Translation.

These foundational aspects are explored in greater detail below alongside various resources and documents.

Health in All Policies (HiAP) is an approach to policymaking that takes health implications and considerations into account and integrates them into policymaking across sectors to improve health and wellbeing.

Health challenges and other societal issues are often highly complex and require innovative solutions, and governmental public policy making that is health-focused and collaborative is vital for effectively addressing these challenges. Multisectoral approaches (such as Health in All Policies) are proven to help governments work together to develop comprehensive public policy that effectively responds to this complexity.

Research translation is a continuous, dynamic process that hinges on a strong, trusting relationship between researchers and policy actors.

Building collaborative, reciprocal partnerships enables the co-design of research projects that tackle policy-relevant questions. This approach requires sustained collaboration among researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, ideally with support from boundary-spanning individuals or organisations who facilitate these partnerships.

As a core objective of CHiAPRT, the Centre takes an active role in advancing research-to-policy translation.
