NCRTP-HepC Program Director Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection is a major public health problem. Worldwide, 170 million are chronically infected with a prevalence exceeding 20% in some countries (eg Egypt). The National Canadian Research Training Program in Hepatitis C (NCRTP-HepC) seeks to build research capacity and awareness in hepatitis C that will one day result in better management of the disease by providing stipend support and training to graduate, postdoctoral students and MDs with demonstrated excellence and a passion for hepatitis C research. The training program employs the knowledge and experience of thirty Canadian researchers The NCRTP-HepC has significantly contributed to advancing research training and knowledge translation (KT) in the field of hepatitis C. It has been very successful in its goal to improve research capacity by developing a network of collaborative investigators whose work encompasses the social, behavioural, clinical and basic sciences, crucial to develop, study and implement effective prevention and care programs to eradicate HCV-related diseases in Canada and worldwide. The need to continue this existing and successful program remains essential to face current and new challenges. We welcome any who are interested to apply. |
