Environments, genes and chronic disease : report on the partner forum : June 10-11, 2015, Ottawa. : MR4-43/2015E-PDF

The Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes (INMD) convened the Environments, Genes and Chronic Disease (EGCD) Partner Forum June 10–11, 2015 in Ottawa. This interactive event brought together 60 participants, including applicants successful at the Letter of Intent (LOI) stage of the CIHR EGCD Programmatic Grants competition, potential partners from government, health charities and the private sector, and CIHR representatives. The goal of EGCD Programmatic Grants is to advance understanding of how environment-gene interactions and environment-microbiome-gene interactions effect the development of chronic non-communicable disease, disease patterns, and human health across the life course. As part of the agenda, applicants presented and interacted with other applicants and partners about their proposed Programs of Research. Twenty concurrent presentations briefly detailed the current composition of research groups, the background and rationale for their chosen program of research, research goals and objectives, and anticipated outcomes – all of which enabled a greater understanding of each application, potential areas of convergence and collaboration, and comments of a more technical nature. This report provides an overview of the structure and flow of the Partner Forum, and the main discussion themes.
