Abstract

Our healthcare systems depend on human capital for effectiveness. The Canadian Institutes of Health Research - Institute of Health Services and Policy Research has prioritized building capacity for "solution-oriented research and evidence-informed health care system transformation" (CIHR IHSPR 2021a: 20) as a core strategic direction. In this commentary, we articulate strategies for positioning PhD-trained scientists at the forefront of this transformation, including refreshing a competency framework that outlines the skill set required for maximum impact, exploring opportunities to expand embedded research career pathways and considering new ways to support the evolution of learning health systems. We conclude highlighting the need to modernize how real-world research impact is recognized.
