• Make scoping and systematic reviews available to the health research community, including CIHR, to inform them of specific areas of priority for primary research
• Increase the number of timely and relevant scoping reviews and systematic reviews in selected areas of high priority to support evidence-informed decision-making
• Increase the degree to which explicit communications and knowledge translation activities are undertaken to make scoping and systematic reviews readily available for use by citizens, clinicians, health system, healthcare managers, public policy-makers, public health practitioners, researchers, NGO's and research funding organizations in Canada to inform their decision-making processes.
