Network grant applications are assessed by the Scientific
and Medical Advisory Council (SMAC) for scientific excellence and
value, such as the potential for intellectual property,
and to decrease the economic burden of arthritis, as well
as existing or potential partnerships. The Council also
offers strategic advice to best position CAN research and
strategic directions in the global arthritis research context.
