About the PRI

The federal government requires a strong knowledge base and policy capacity to meet the increasingly complex challenges facing Canada. To respond to this need, the Policy Research Initiative conducts research in support of the Government of Canada's medium term agenda. Its core mandate is to advance research on emerging horizontal issues, and to ensure the effective transfer of acquired knowledge to policy-makers.

The PRI, while conducting independent policy research projects, is attached to Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC) and is receiving guidance from a Deputy Minister Steering Committee. In practice, our Executive Director reports to the Senior Associate Deputy Minister at HRSDC.

The PRI currently has six horizontal research projects:

In addition to its research projects, the PRI harnesses knowledge and expertise on an ongoing basis from within the federal government, as well as from Canadian universities, private sector research institutions, and international organizations. This work is accomplished by way of conferences, workshops, and policy research roundtables on important medium-term cross-cutting issues.

Research results are shared with the federal policy community not only through a range of events, but also by means of print publications, including the periodical Horizons, as well as various project reports and discussion papers. This material is available to the public through the PRI web site.

The PRI is also mandated to identify data needs and priorities for future policy development through the Policy Research Data Group, an interdepartmental committee charged with addressing emerging data gaps linked to medium to longer-term challenges.

For more information on the PRI, please see the section on background.
