The ARTC is a collaborative venture among four Atlantic Canada universities - Memorial University of Newfoundland, University of New Brunswick, University of Prince Edward Island, and Saint Mary's University. The objectives of the ARTC are to:

• Provide graduate education at the master’s level in the area of applied health services research from an interdisciplinary perspective;
• Advance reciprocal arrangements between academic communities and decision-maker organizations which facilitate the use of evidence in policy decisions affecting the health of Atlantic Canadians;
• Create a platform where interchanges between decision makers and health researchers from academic communities can generate policy relevant research.

Each university has a program lead:
