Read the 2023 N2 Annual Report!

Dec 20, 2023 | N2 News

The past year has been a particularly exciting one. We wanted to create an opportunity to reflect on the highlights and collective successes as 2023 ends. In lieu of an end-of-year Community Forum,
we’ve opted to provide the following annual report, for you to take in on your own time and hopefully begin to wind down for a restful end-of-year season. Let’s pause to celebrate our successes in 2023, and importantly to rest and recharge.

Dec 12, 2023 | N2 Members, N2 News

N2 is pleased to share the recent success of our partner CATALIS Québec in launching CLINICAL TRIALS QUEBEC #CTQ, a brand-new information and services hub for all things clinical research!

Powered by the CATALIS Quebec Network and developed in partnership with the Quebec government, Clinical Trials Quebec (CTQ) is an innovative provincial tool that makes it easy for everyone to learn about clinical research and find clinical trials.

CTQ offers high-quality, impartial, comprehensive, and accessible information about clinical research and clinical trials. The website also provides free tools and services such as a Personalized Clinical Trial Support Service, Québec’s Public Clinical Trials Database, a Directory of Patient Organizations and a Glossary of complex medical terms.

As a member of the CATALIS Network, our organization is proud to see this project come to life.
