The Canadian Arthritis Network is a research network aimed to create, translate and transfer arthritis research to produce benefits to people with arthritis, their families and Canadian society.
The Canadian Arthritis Network’s legacy initiatives are to support the development of a national framework, to strengthen networks, transfer CAN’s successful programs and create new knowledge translation products.
The Canadian Arthritis Network’s legacy to date includes programs, resources, sister organizations, highly qualified consumers, and publications.
In October 1998, the Canadian Arthritis Network received Networks of Centres of Excellence funding becoming the first NCE to receive a disease-specific grant.
