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 individual living with CF to serve as a community stakeholder member on the scientific review panel. 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 6, 2019.

Incomplete and/or late applications will not be considered.
