    In 2008 the NCRTP-HepC submitted an application to have its grant renewed by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. The program updated its goals to the following:
    1. To attract and train high quality graduate students (both national and international) to become independent researchers and leaders in the field of hepatitis C
    2. To consolidate, enhance, and ensure sustainability of the multidisciplinary approach of the network of mentors and to translate it to trainees, relevant individuals, and the general public
    3. To help and support all aspects of HCV research from epidemiology, prevention, infection control, diagnostics, health economics, to vaccine development, viral resistance, immune response, pathogenesis, and psychology
    4. To become a central forum for discussion, thinking, and orientation with regards to the political, social, economic and research issues in hepatitis C
    5. To build on the now established international recognition of the program by continuing to attract foreign students and experts and to promote international collaborations
    6. To eradicate hepatitis C
