• COMP is currently accepting applications to fill three (3) vacancies on the Board! Information on the vacant positions can be found here.
• Nominations for the COMP Gold Medal, Fellow of COMP, and Jerry Battista award are due April 30th! Simply click the award on the Awards page to access the online nomination form.
• Costs are up, graduate student stipends are flat, and research funding is tight. These are common topics of conversation, and given the latest federal budget announcement on March 28, this will likely not change anytime soon. The question then is: what do we do? We invite you to hear expert opinions and join in on a timely conversation on the state of healthcare research funding in Canada, how we got here, its impacts on accessibility, and where we go moving forward. If interested, we welcome you to join us on April 21 from 3:30–4:30pm ET on Zoom (register here).
