What Centre de collaboration nationale sur les politiques publiques et la santé (CCNPPS) does

The Centre de collaboration nationale sur les politiques publiques et la santé (CCNPPS), also known by its English acronym NCCHPP, is a Canadian National Collaborating Centre for public health policy, established in 2005 and hosted by the Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ), a Government of Quebec public health institution. The center operates as a knowledge broker for Canadian public health professionals, policymakers, and government officials, producing evidence-based publications, presentations, webinars, videos, and structured online training courses on topics spanning public policy analysis, climate change and health, Health in All Policies (SdTP), health inequalities, health impact assessment, municipal public health, mental health and well-being, public health ethics, and public health infrastructure. Its core technology is a web-based knowledge platform delivering free, self-serve access to a bilingual (predominantly French) content repository and online training modules covering public policy analysis frameworks, health impact assessment, and public health ethics.

The center coordinates the Réseau canadien sur la Santé dans toutes les politiques (RCSdTP), a Canadian network advancing Health in All Policies practice, and participates in the international Global Network for Health in All Policies. Its business model is government-funded: CCNPPS provides all resources at no cost to users, operating under public health appropriations rather than commercial revenue streams. Distribution occurs digitally through its website, email bulletins, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook, as well as through the broader Network of National Collaborating Centres (CCNs). The organization employs 21 staff and is governed by an advisory council (Conseil d'orientation) and a steering committee for the RCSdTP network.

The CCNPPS operates as a public health knowledge and collaboration center (a Canadian NCC — National Collaborating Centre) hosted by the Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ).

Direct peers

• National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health (NCCDH): Sister National Collaborating Centre operating under the same federal funding envelope and mandate—knowledge translation on social determinants of health—and serves the same public health practitioner and policymaker audience as CCNPPS.
• Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ): CCNPPS's host institution and parent organization; Quebec's provincial public health agency that conducts public health research, policy analysis, and knowledge translation—directly comparable as a public health knowledge and policy body.
• National Collaborating Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCCID): Another sister National Collaborating Centre with the same mandate structure and funding model, focused on infectious disease knowledge translation for Canadian public health professionals—the closest organizational analogue to CCNPPS.
• National Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health (NCCIH): One of the six Canadian National Collaborating Centres for Public Health, operating under the same federally-funded network model as CCNPPS to produce knowledge, training, and policy resources for public health practitioners in Canada.
• National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health (NCCEH): Fifth sister National Collaborating Centre; shares the same federally-coordinated mandate, host-institution model, and bilingual knowledge-translation activities as CCNPPS, but focused on environmental health.
• National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools (NCCMT): Sister National Collaborating Centre offering parallel knowledge-broker and training/publishing services to public health professionals, with a focus on evidence-based methods and tools—directly comparable to CCNPPS's training and tool offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA): National not-for-profit association serving Canadian public health professionals through advocacy, publications, and conferences—comparable to CCNPPS as a knowledge broker and community convener in the Canadian public health ecosystem.
• National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE): UK public body that produces evidence-based guidance, frameworks, and training for health and policy professionals; functions as a more mature, internationally recognized analogue of CCNPPS's knowledge-translation and capacity-building mission.
• Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC): Federal public health authority that funds the Network of National Collaborating Centres including CCNPPS; comparable as a Canadian public health policy and capacity-building institution, though far broader in scope.

Others

• World Health Organization (WHO): International public health authority that convenes the Global Network for Health in All Policies in which CCNPPS participates; thematically aligned on Health in All Policies and policy-knowledge products, though operating at a global rather than national scale.
