Who should be defining the research priorities?

Scientists should be defining the research priorities and we should be developing strategies in a way that enables research to move forward.
 
It is clear that management does not have the ability to evaluate the quality of the research but we do have the ability to evaluate the potential impact that science has. We have the ability to make critical decisions that will ensure that the good ideas we have are all channeled towards the bigger picture problems that we are trying to solve. That is what people are counting on us for. That is our obligation to society.

Clarity in UHN research priorities would help us to integrate student and clinician led research.
