Revolutionizing the prevention, treatment, and management of STBBIs

The CTN+ prioritizes regional research capacity by fostering, developing, and supporting research teams in regions across Canada. These regional teams, which include researchers, community members, and Indigenous representation, champion the knowledge needs of those in their local communities. The focus on regional capacity and engagement is informed by the Network’s objective to uphold Indigenous rights and move towards truth and reconciliation, recognizing the power of research and knowledge mobilization to improve health equity across the country.
