• Identify, test, and/or evaluate promising system-level solutions that strengthen PHS in the public and/or community sectors for evidence-informed decision-making; and
• Build capacity of different actors (researchers, decision-makers, practitioners, community representatives, Indigenous communities, and other knowledge users), organizations and sectors (governmental and non-governmental) to undertake collaborative, equity-focused research on PHS; and
