NMD4C Submits Application for CIHR Network Grant

In January, the NMD4C submitted an application for the CIHR Network Grant in Skin Health, Bone Health, and Muscular Dystrophy grant competition to fund the next phase of the network. In this grant application, the current NMD4C investigators partnered with Muscular Dystrophy Canada, led by nominated principal applicant Dr. Hanns Lochmüller and principal knowledge user Dr. Homira Osman, along with over 60 principal- and co-applicants, collaborators, patient partners and knowledge users. If successful, this funding will allow the network to build on the three years of activity to date and expand into further initiatives to continue to fulfil our mission to improve NMD care and treatment for all Canadians.

We were delighted by the opportunity to bring together such a large and strong group of stakeholders to build our plans for neuromuscular research and networking across Canada for the next five years. Thanks to all those involved!
