WHO WE ARE:
The heart of MEKTU is investigating the quality, usefulness and effectiveness of policies, programs and practices and the process of moving research into practice. MEKTU is a partnership between NB-IRDT and the Government of New Brunswick (GNB). It was developed in support of the Healthy Seniors Pilot Project (HSPP) - a $75 million partnership project between GNB departments of Social Development and Health and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). Since its establishment, MEKTU continues to support the HSPP while expanding to support other projects through helping governments, communities and partners make trusted, evidence informed decisions to improve the lives of citizens.
We inform effective practices, programs, and policies in New Brunswick and beyond through collaboration, monitoring, robust evaluations, and knowledge transfer.
