Global Health Grades Canada
Measuring the Canadian U15 universities' commitment to research that meets the needs of people worldwide
Who We Are
The Canadian U15 universities play a critical role in addressing global challenges such as HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and other neglected diseases. It is imperative that we continue to give priority to the lives of millions through licensing practices that allow our world-class research to reach those that need it most. This Report Card helps us measure the impact our universities have on global health.

“Canadian universities play a critical role in addressing global challenges such as HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and other neglected diseases. It is imperative that we continue to give priority to the lives of millions through licensing practices that allow our world-class research to reach those that need it most. This Report Card helps us measure the impact our universities have on global health. It clearly shows Canadian universities are falling short: students, faculty and related communities must jolt the universities into sanity.”
“The UAEM Canadian Global Equity in Biomedical Research Report highlights a worrying lack of transparency on publicly funded biomedical research carried out by Canadian universities. With only a third of clinical trials data disclosed and only one university adopting global access licensing, this Report Card proves once again that universities have a long way to go. It is time for universities to fulfill their responsibility to ensure that publicly funded biomedical research is available for the public good.”
"UAEM has provided a timely, insightful and comprehensive report card highlighting Canada's major research universities contributions to global health research and access to medicines, with a particular emphasis on how well Universities have done in promoting global access of health technologies to those in need."
