As an institution dedicated to rural health issues, the BCRRHRI has four main goals: to undertake, coordinate and foster practical research concerning the health needs of people living in rural and remote areas; to advance the understanding of issues in population health, health-care delivery and the education of health practitioners in rural and remote areas; to assist regions and service providers in moving toward evidenced-based decision making for health service delivery; and to establish the means for innovative, rapid and widespread dissemination of relevant research information.
