Since 1992 the Research Institute has developed partnerships with other units at the University of Manitoba and with community-based partners from all levels of government, non-profit organizations, hospitals, and private corporations.
As a result of such partnerships, the Institute has begun to attract Faculty from other units on campus who desire a more formal affiliation in order to pursue research related to the mission of the HLHP Research Institute.
These research groups represent an association of University scholars who share research interests and who engage in collaborative or closely related research activities. The purpose of the research groups is to promote and facilitate communication and collaboration among its members, and to establish the legitimacy of the group both inside and outside the University.
