The P&P; Committees foster the development of their research communities; provide a forum for the identification of critical issues and opportunities; and facilitate input from and dialogue with their research communities and the users of their research, including, in some instances, patient groups.
Through the P&P; committees, over 100 leading researchers and other committed stakeholders are engaged on a regular basis in informing and advancing the strategic research agenda of the Institute. Each P&P; Committee is led or co-led by a distinguished Canadian scientist(s) with experience and strong commitment to advancing research in a specific area. The membership of the P&P; Committees is diverse and multidisciplinary, and includes basic science researchers, clinicians, investigators in population and public health, and researchers from the humanities who focus on ethical, legal and social issues.
