The CDTRP was pleased to host its discussion-based meeting series called “Research Connect”. This series streamlined the subset of Theme, Hub, and Working Group meetings that aimed to share and discuss the latest research findings across the network and our Webinar series, which featured national and international speakers.
The goal is to make it easy for our members to know about and attend high quality presentations across all Themes and topics of interest. We are aiming for active discussions including researchers, trainees, and patient, family, and donor partners, engaging the whole community as if we were having a family dinner rather than listening to a formal presentation.
Thanks to Takeda Canada and AstraZeneca for sponsoring the CDTRP 2023 Research Connect Series!

The CDTRP Research Connect Series is supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).

 If you would like to present your work or have a speaker suggestion, please contact Research Theme Coordinator Erika Kathe Croft at ekcroft@cdtrp.ca.
