Supporting Osteoporosis Research

Research leads the way for scientific knowledge and understanding of osteoporosis. Canadian researchers have been leaders in the prevention, diagnosis and management of osteoporosis, with their work being recognized throughout the world. Attracting, training and retaining new investigators in this area of medicine is key to building on this strong foundation.
 
Osteoporosis Canada is proud and excited to launch our osteoporosis research program, designed to fund initiatives that focus on osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease.
 
This program is strengthened through our partnerships with established peer-reviewed research funding organizations - Canadian Institutes of Health Research; Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis; and Dairy Farmers of Canada.
