Affiliates

The CCNC is currently affiliated with 23 healthcare organizations through a designated representative. Our affiliate organisations are an essential part of our mission to foster evidence-based decision making. Through active partnerships and knowledge transfer activities, we work with our affiliates to promote the awareness, understanding and use of Cochrane reviews by their members.

The affiliate terms of reference set out the eligibility and responsibility of the affiliate relationship. If you are interested in becoming an affiliate organisation, please contact MaryEllen Schaafsma (mschaafs doesnotexist@cochrane.org uottawa.ca).
