Abstract
Prioritizing Research at the Canadian Thoracic Society and Beyond
Highlights
Iam fortunate to inherit the Canadian Thoracic Society (CTS) Presidency at a time when the CTS is stronger than it has ever been
The CTS – at 52 years – is mature and growing. It has a strategic plan, a more robust administrative infrastructure to support that plan and is developing a new governance structure fully aligned with strategic priorities
In a recent poll conducted by the CTS, the directors of academic respiratory divisions across the country overwhelmingly indicated their concern regarding the current erosion of clinical research in Canada and the progressive decline in funding, infrastructure and training opportunities
Summary
Iam fortunate to inherit the Canadian Thoracic Society (CTS) Presidency at a time when the CTS is stronger than it has ever been. It is clear to me that the CTS is ready to meet one of its newest challenges – strengthening its own research program while guiding the development of a national respiratory research agenda. À ce carrefour, il m’apparaît clair que la SCT est prête à relever ce nouveau défi, c’est-à-dire, consolider son propre programme de recherche tout en orientant la préparation d’un agenda de recherche national sur les maladies respiratoires.
