The University of Alberta has received a $25M gift from The Dianne and Irving Kipnes Foundation to establish the Dianne and Irving Kipnes Health Research Institute. This institute will help bridge the gap between research and scientific discoveries and health outcomes. As part of this effort, the institute will support UAlberta researchers who are leveraging the province’s integrated health data system and AI to turn discoveries into practice more quickly. “It creates a health learning system, where use of data will guide decision-making, where AI will accelerate discovery, where clinical trials will validate breakthroughs and specialized programs will realize that full cycle from research to impact,” said UAlberta College of Health Sciences Dean and Vice-Provost Brenda Hemmelgarn.
