Canadians for Health Research (CHR; French: Les Canadiens pour la recherche médicale, CRM) was a registered national not-for-profit organisation[1] founded in 1976.

On Saturday, November 12, 2017, the Annual General Meeting unanimously approved the dissolution of Canadians for Health Research (CHR/CRM) effective December 31, 2017.

In 1976, the federal government froze the budget of the Medical Research Council of Canada (MRC) for that fiscal year.

The response in Montreal was to organize a series of meetings to study the continuing problems of health research in Canada and to discover and discuss alternatives which could help rectify that immediate funding crisis.

In February 1976, Canadians for Health Research (CHR) was founded.
