CANOC

CANOC is Canada’s first integrated network of all registered HIV/AIDS treatment information from eight cohort databases across British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec.

This merger gives researchers the opportunity to conduct large and detailed analyses of treatment outcomes and to assess variations across regions and practices. Additionally, the study provides support to graduates and post-doctoral students interested in health-population specific research.

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
