Welcome to the Canadian Transdisciplinary Training Program in Perinatal Research on Medications

Funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Logo cihr irsc

75% of Canadian women take medications during pregnancy. However, in order to adequately interpret the benefits and risks of medications use during pregnancy, it is essential to train the next generation of scientists in transdisciplinary perinatal research with knowledge in epidemiology, genetics, toxicology, pharmacology, causal analysis methods and artificial intelligence.

With the CAMCCO-L training, the next generation of scientists will be provided with a set of tools and activities to innovate in the field of medications and pregnancy.

Knowledge Transfer and Mobilization Committee

Role of the committee

The primary role of the Knowledge Transfer and Mobilization Committee is to implement a plan for trainees training, monitoring and evaluation of knowledge transfer and mobilization activities.

Patient Partner Committee

Role of the committee

The primary role of the Patient Partner Committee is to co-create, in partnership with parents/patients, researchers and clinicians, specific training modules for patients and people with lived experiences to train them in perinatal research and thus help them mobilize their experiential knowledge and have a significant impact on patient-oriented research. These patient partners will also be called upon to be ambassadors for perinatal research.

Evaluation Committee

Role of the committee

The primary role of the Evaluation Committee is to measure the impact of CAMCCO-L training on the trainees' training trajectory. This committee is responsible for taking a leadership role in the development of relevant evaluation tools for trainee self-assessment, mentor evaluations, course and summer school evaluations, and all training activities. This committee is also responsible for the evaluation of the program and the CAMCCO-L platform in general.

Advisory Committee

Role of the committee

The main role of the Advisory Committee is to guide and monitor the evolution of the platform and its future orientations by providing advice on the use of the platform and the deployment of the training. This committee is responsible for ensuring the feasibility and validity of the planned schedule for the activities offered within the framework of CAMCCO-L training, identifying potential organizational challenges and proposing solutions to address them, in addition to ensuring that equity, diversity and inclusion practices are integrated into the entire operation and activities of the platform. 

Coordination
