Request for Proposals Clinical Partnerships – 2021–2022

The Canadian Glycomics Network (GlycoNet) is a Network of Centres of Excellence (NCE) that focuses on the role of glycans (carbohydrates) in health. Areas of focus are infectious diseases, chronic diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Additional information about Network research can be found at www.glyconet.ca.

 

In this Request for Proposals, we are seeking to fund Clinical Partnership projects that would offer clinicians and biomedical researchers opportunities to partner with Network Investigators to study glycans or glycosylation changes in disease. This partnership would increase clinician awareness of the role of glycomics in disease, and expand glycomics translational research and its application in more problems of clinical importance. Partnership outcomes could be better understanding of disease, drug development strategies, or new drug targets.
