The RHN in brief
A network of researchers dedicated to respiratory health research
The Respiratory Health Network of the FRSQ (RHN) is one of 14 thematic networks of the Fonds de la recherche en santé du Québec. It encompasses over 130 researchers, pulmonologists and health professionals from major university medical centers in Quebec. The aim of the Network is to provide a provincial structure in respiratory health based on the participation of researchers in this field, in order to promote the integration of various aspects of research, namely clinical, evaluative, epidemiological and fundamental research, into projects large enough to attract researchers from different backgrounds as well as help enhance the competitiveness of Quebec researchers.
