As shared with the N2 Community a few weeks ago, we received a CIHR Café Scientifique grant. This project, led by the Clinical Trials Education and Awareness (CTEA) Committee, is to bring together People With Lived Experience as new immigrants to Canada to engage members of this underrepresented community to increase awareness and understanding of clinical trials and to increase understanding of the barriers they face in participating in clinical trials.
We are looking for local people within the N2 Community who are willing to join the team at the event. The following positions are needed to be filled:
- 3-5 notetakers
- 1-3 facilitators
- 3 extra volunteers for various tasks
If you are willing and available to help, please email n2@n2canada.ca and include ‘Café Scientifique’ in the subject line. The event takes place October 5, 2023 in Toronto at the Lawrence Heights Community Centre, 5 Replin Rd. Toronto, Ontario from 6:30-8:30 PM EST.
