CANOC

The Canadian Observational Cohort Collaboration (CANOC) is an initiative of the Epidemiology and Population Health Program at the BC-CfE.  It is an integrated network of all registered treatment information from twelve cohort databases across British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland. This collaboration of national researchers and select databases establishes policy-relevant studies in HIV therapeutics, population, and public health. CANOC is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the CIHR Canadian Trials Network (CTN).

The primary aims of CANOC are:

  • To develop a nationally and internationally recognized and policy relevant program of research in HIV therapeutics and population and public health in Canada.
  • To establish mentoring, training, and research opportunities for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and clinicians interested in HIV cohort research in Canada.
  • To improve research and dissemination to physicians and individuals living with HIV and to improve knowledge translation of research regarding HIV therapeutics into provincial, national, and international HIV treatment guidelines

During the Canada Post strike, the following measures have been undertaken to minimize service disruption to BC-CfE clients and providers.

  • The BC-CfE Laboratory has transitioned to private courier for delivery of outgoing reports and documents. (Lab Contact Information: Phone 604-806-8775; FAX 604-806-9463)
  • The BC-CfE Drug Treatment Program (DTP) will fax outgoing forms and documents to the provider’s office.  (DTP Contact Information: Phone 604-806-8515; FAX 604-806-9044)
  • St. Paul’s Hospital Ambulatory Pharmacy has transitioned to private courier for delivery of medications. (Contact Information: Phone 1-800-547-3622; FAX 604-806-8675)

During this time, we recommend that documents be faxed or couriered to our sites, versus utilization of regular mail service.
