Overview
The Canadian Arthritis Network (CAN) is one of five sites hosted by Arthritis Canada, a digital gateway to the key organisations and stakeholders within the Canadian arthritis community. The network comprises 120 scientists and clinicians from 44 institutions in Canada, and is mainly funded by the federal Networks of Centres of Excellence, with other revenue coming from arthritis societies, industrial partners and venture capitalists. The stated aim of CAN is 'to bring together scientists, clinicians and the arthritis community to tackle fundamental questions about arthritis and to respond to the needs of Canadian arthritis sufferers'.
