Abstract

The distribution of funding for health research by region and subject area can indirectly influence the quality and breadth of health care. This empirical analysis examines the impact of funding from private non-profit agencies, governments, industry, and universities on the distribution of health research resources. The contribution of private non-profit agencies is examined in detail to illustrate its effect on the distribution of health research funding by region and disease area. Findings offer insight into the interaction of private and public sector research funding, the role of the private non-profit agencies in Canadian health research, and the importance of public sector grants in maintaining a research capacity across regions and in disease areas that have a low public profile.
