CIHR Team in Respiratory Clinical Research

The Canadian Respiratory Clinical Research Consortium consists of a team of academic respirologists, cardiologists, emergency physicians, radiologists, nurses, physiotherapists, pathologists, geneticists, biostatisticians and health economists who have created a national network to conduct collaborative clinical research in respiratory health. The objective of the team is to foster a collaborative, multi-disciplinary clinical research network that will focus on conducting multi-center randomized clinical trials, as well as cohort and case-control studies, in all areas of clinical respiratory medicine. In addition to the primary hypotheses of the studies the over arching theme of the projects will critically evaluate the role of ethnicity, health literacy and the economic impact of the results of the different projects undertaken.
