Crowdsourcing Call

Crowdsourcing Call

The Crowdsourcing Call for 2024 is now closed. Thank you to all those who submitted applications. Applicants will receive notification of the decisions made by the CARC Scientific Committee via imha-iala@cihr-irsc.gc.ca. by January 31, 2024.

In keeping with equity principles, open science, and the wisdom of crowds, we invite open applications for keynote speakers and symposia for April 3 & 4, 2024.

We invite suggestions for two keynote speaker (25-minute presentation and 5 min Q&A) and individuals for our symposia sessions (3 speakers, 90-minutes). Given that CARC 2024 will be held virtually, there is an opportunity to have a mix of national and international speakers. All speakers must be available to present virtually on April 3rd and/or 4th, 2024. 

Submissions will be evaluated by the CARC Scientific Committee. Selection criteria include the importance and impact of the topic, patient involvement, principles of equity, diversity, inclusivity, and Indigenous rights, and in the case of symposia, a panel comprised of multiple disciplines, with specific emphasis on panelists who steer cross disciplinary collaboration. 

Guidelines for applications can be found here. Please submit your suggestions for speakers through CARC’s online system here.

All applications must be received by January 12, 2024.

Email imha-iala@cihr-irsc.gc.ca if you have any questions about the application process.

We will contact only those whose applications are accepted. Thank you for your time and interest.
