Workshop on Bioengineering for the Restoration of Joint Function
The Workshop on Bioengineering for the Restoration of Joint
Function (BIO RJF), held in June, 2006, was an important meeting to promote
the development of the Canadian Arthritis Network’s (CAN) Strategic Research
Initiative (SRI) in this area. CAN Investigators, members of industry, consumers
and non-CAN researchers met in equal partnership to identify gaps in joint restoration
research, discuss research development priorities and opportunities, and begin
to build partnerships for new innovative research programs that will improve
the care of people with arthritis.
The position paper (of the same name) is a twenty-page document
that captures the important issues that were raised at the Workshop, identifies
outcomes and future goals, and raises questions that need to be answered and
can form the basis of research projects within a BIO RJF SRI to be funded by
CAN. The Paper includes one appendix on current funding opportunities and another
on useful sources of information relevant to the topic.
