History
The Research Branch was created in 1972 within the Ministry of Health replacing the former Research and Planning Branch. It formed part of the Research and Analysis Division.
The Research Branch included a Health Manpower Section and a Health Systems Research Section. On 1 February, 1976, the Research and Analysis Division was disbanded and the Research Branch assumed most of the Division's functions. This included responsibility for the Provincial Health Research Grants program, previously administered by the former Special Projects Branch. The Research Branch now reported directly to the Deputy Minister of Health. Later that same year the Branch underwent a reorganization and changed its name to the Strategic Planning and Research Branch.
