The Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program (CPSP) is seeking researchers to initiate new studies of rare diseases or conditions in 2002 and beyond. A researcher is expected to assume a leadership role as the principal investigator in obtaining funding, developing the research protocol, analyzing and interpreting data, and presenting results at grand rounds, seminars and paediatric conferences. The CPSP is an active surveillance program that will provide researchers with access to a network of 2300 paediatricians who report cases of rare diseases on a monthly check-off form. For more information, contact Andrea Medaglia,the CPSP coordinator, at 613-526-9397 ext 239.
