Join Our Working Groups

A CNRSP working group comprises actively contributing researchers representing a range of career stages — including at least one early career researcher — and Canadian institutions. Each group should span at least two, ideally three, provinces. This structure allows a working group leader with a defined vision to collaborate with researchers across the country and work toward the actualization of that vision in the form of a published research manuscript.

Short-Term

Prepare a comprehensive report for the annual CNRSP meeting, which includes:

☑  A comprehensive summary and appraisal of the present state of knowledge 

☑ A critical examination of research issues 

☑ A list of key issues which have interfered with progress  

☑ Identification of research areas needing further work and development 

☑ Feasible and practical recommendations for future research 

Long-Term

Prepare a report (“white paper”) for the annual meeting, which is intended to evolve into a publication.

 

 ☑ Should be prepared in into a journal format (e.g., Schizophrenia Bulletin)

Objectives of CNRSP Working Groups

Meet Our Working Group Coordinators

The role of the co-ordinators will be to keep the working groups on track with progress and to arrange new working groups or close inactive ones, and to keep the web site updated.
