CALL FOR COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER APPLICATIONS

Cystic Fibrosis Canada is Seeking a Community Stakeholder Representative to Join the Scientific Review Panel

Cystic Fibrosis Canada invites you to apply to participate, as a community stakeholder representative, on our organization’s scientific review panel. This is an opportunity for informed members of the cystic fibrosis (CF) community to play a vital role in the review process by which funding is allocated. Community stakeholders serve as a sounding board, and as a source of advice, with respect to the identification of research proposals that have high relevance to CF.

This year, Cystic Fibrosis Canada is looking to select one non-patient community stakeholder member to serve on the scientific review panel for a term of three years. Please see the Terms of Reference for further details on the role.

Note, there will be a mandatory, formal training session for community stakeholder members via WebEx video conferencing (date to be determined).

Application deadline: Friday, September 14, 2018.

Incomplete and/or late applications will not be considered.
