Research Support Hub

The SMRC Research Support Hub (RSH) provides comprehensive support to St. Mary’s Hospital Center (SMHC) clinicians, researchers and their trainees at every stage of their projects, from conception to completion. By offering a range of pre- and post-award services, scientific consultation, and knowledge translation support, the RSH aims to streamline research processes and empower SMHC researchers to focus on the essence of their work.

​SMRC provides support for eligible members of the St. Mary’s community who are conducting or plan to conduct research projects aimed at generating new knowledge, or research projects evaluating quality improvement processes.
