The true functional units within CANNeCTIN are our Working Groups, in which are investigators with specific expertise and interests work collaboratively to discuss, develop, prioritize and implement CANNeCTIN pilot projects and full-scale studies. Working Groups are generally chaired by a leader from outside Hamilton and facilitated by a member from McMaster University and the Population Health Research Institute (PHRI).
