The BCCDC Foundation has been pleased and privileged to provide long-term funding to BCCDC’s Research Week, supporting 8 years of this event! This year the funding torch has been passed to the BCCDC Faculty Engagement Committee and Research Week is grateful for this support, marking the 12th Research Week! But even though the BCCDC Foundation funding has completed, our dedicated Operations Coordinator, Lisa Young, still participates on the organizing committee, and supports not only Research Week but also Grand Rounds. And most importantly we are always happy to support and help translate BCCDC knowledge, research and expertise, especially as we’ve funded a number of the projects being presented!
In order for you to ensure you schedule time to attend the best parts, we’re posting the full schedule now, for the events taking place October 21-25, 2019. This year’s theme is “Sparking Innovation, Now and for Future Generations”.
