Programs
Programs that advance scholarly collaboration
Structured ways for specialists to work together on scientific questions in health — across Canada and the Asia-Pacific.
01
Research working groups
Small cohorts of specialists who pursue defined scientific questions — comparing methods, interpreting evidence, and documenting open problems.
- Topic groups in clinical, biomedical, and health-systems science
- Shared protocols, reading lists, and critique sessions
- Working notes circulated among participating experts
02
Technology & methods seminars
Seminars where experts present and evaluate scientific methods and medical technologies — with peer commentary, not product promotion.
- Presentation of ongoing research and methodological debates
- Cross-specialty attendance to broaden critique
- Summaries archived in the CAPIHI knowledge series
03
Canada–Asia Pacific colloquia
Periodic forums connecting scholars from both regions to compare research agendas and exchange disciplinary knowledge.
- Comparative discussions of clinical and biomedical research
- Method workshops led by domain specialists
- Follow-on academic collaborations among participants
04
Human potential: early-career exchange
Mentored scholarly exchange that helps emerging researchers engage with senior specialists through joint reading groups and research critiques.
- Pairing of early-career researchers with senior discussants
- Training in scholarly communication and peer review
- Opportunities to present work-in-progress to expert audiences
