Researchers who work with human health, health-related or biomedical data are invited to complete a brief survey and share their perspectives. The survey remains open from March 6 to April 3, 2026.
The Health Research Hub (HRH) survey seeks input from academic health researchers at the University of Waterloo on current practices, barriers, needs and opportunities related to health data storage, management and access.
For the purposes of this survey, health research is defined broadly to include scholarly work focused on human health, healthcare systems, public health, biomedical sciences and health-related social sciences. This includes primary, secondary and synthetic data sources, as well as fundamental, clinical, population-based and translational research.
Survey findings will inform HRH's strategic planning in support of a university-wide health data strategy. Results will also be presented to the Health Futures Council to help guide future infrastructure, policy and support initiatives.
HRH is an integrative hub that brings together all six faculties at the University of Waterloo. Its purpose is to strengthen health research and innovation by addressing barriers and gaps, improving coordination and efficiency, raising awareness and building relationships within and beyond the university.
