CTN+ has arrived.
On July 12th, 2024, the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR) announced a $25 million investment in the CIHR Pan-Canadian Network for HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted and Blood-Borne Infections (STBBIs) Clinical Trials Research (CTN+), a re-imagined clinical trials network built on legacy and impact. CTN+ will facilitate the design, conduct, and dissemination of equitable, community-informed, scientifically rigorous, and timely research across disciplines, infections, and key populations across all regions of Canada. CTN+ builds upon the CIHR Canadian HIV Trials Network (CTN) originally established in 1990 as a cornerstone of the federal AIDS strategy.
