We are launching a new tool that will help us collect information on the accomplishments of our members throughout the year. This information will be used to keep us all up to date on what other WCRG members are up to, to recognize people on our website and to let our community know what cancer researchers are doing in Windsor-Essex . Every 3 months, we will send you an email with the link to remind you to send us your latest news. We are looking for awards, appointments, research accomplishments, grants and more!

To establish a global cancer research office that will foster cross-border collaborations and lay the foundation for international clinical trial access for Windsor-Essex cancer patients.

What We Will Do

• Bring partners along the Windsor-Detroit corridor together
• Establish a "Passports" cross-border coordinating office
• Standardize the cross-border access, transportation and processing of tissue samples
• Set up a cross border clinical trial - pilot

What This Means for Members

• Facilitate new and ongoing cross border collaborations
• Standardize protocols for cross-boarder exchange of biological materials
• Enhances international recognition for our members and their cancer-related research

Next Steps

• Hire a Cross-Border Health Research Assistant by September, 2014. If you know anyone that might be interested, please share the job posting found here: Cross Border Health Research Assistant  

Thank you to our supporters, this campaign is fully funded!
