The National Collaborating Centres (NCCs) for Public Health promote and improve the use of scientific research and other knowledge to strengthen public health practices and policies in Canada. The six Centres are located across Canada, with each focusing on a different priority area.

They identify knowledge gaps to highlight areas where research is needed. The Centres also foster and promote networks to facilitate the exchange of knowledge between the public health community, researchers and other actors. The NCCs are funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada.
