Governance
Given the complexity of its operation and the need for stakeholder input, C-SPIN will have a Scientific Executive Committee (SEC), a Steering Committee and External Advisory Committee (EAC). The Coordination Office will be located at the Population Health Research Institute in Hamilton, Ontario; however, individual studies may be coordinated at any institution. Education and mentoring will be coordinated at the University of Calgary.
