International Scientific Advisory Group (ISAG) 2017

2017 meeting documents

The International Scientific Advisory Group is a key and crucial entity within the O’Brien Institute for Public Health community. The ISAG is made up of international leaders in their respective fields – their main contribution to the Institute being a periodic visit, based on which they formulate assessments and present suggestions on how best to position the Institute as a leader in public health in Alberta and beyond. By providing members of the ISAG with an intimate look at the work being done at the Institute, and the impact its initiatives have generated, these experts are able to lend an external perspective, and international context, to the scientific endeavours of the Institute. Below is a link to the Research Impact Report drafted by the Institute for the ISAG.
