Conducting Cancer Research at Windsor Regional Hospital
|
Windsor Regional Hospital has a newly formed Research Council that serves as
the first point of contact for researchers wishing to conduct research at the Windsor Regional Hospital Cancer Program. The Council's purpose is to ensure the institution is aware and supportive of all research being conducted with this vulnerable population of patients. They will provide direction to researchers on how to move forward on their projects and advise them on necessary next steps. Application forms and new information will be made available soon on the WCRG website
