Message from the Project Director:

In the first four years of the CDPP, we have published over 40 academic papers, produced nearly 20 knowledge products, and engaged more than 150 trainees. These are accomplishments to celebrate! However, with our success has come an unexpected problem: how to squeeze all that great work into a bi-annual newsletter. This month, we launch a new newsletter format, highlighting one recent accomplishment from each CDPP team. We now plan to send newsletters every other month, with bite-size amounts of information that direct readers to the newest CDPP research and knowledge translation products. We hope you find this new format useful and we welcome your feedback.
