Research Advisory


The Research Advisory Committee’s (RAC) most visible activity is overseeing, on behalf of CARF, the administration of the CAS Research Awards Program that offers annual Operating Grants and a Career Scientist Award. RAC is also responsible for advising the CAS Board on the promotion of anesthesia research in Canada and maintaining a watching brief on medical research in Canada to ensure that the CAS remains responsive to trends and initiatives as they develop.

A Grant Standing Subcommittee assists with the adjudication of research awards.
