Advocacy

Our mandate is to advance and promote molecular biosciences in Canada.

The CSMB is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion in molecular biosciences in Canada – it is only by leveraging all our human capital that we will reach our full potential.

The CSMB advocates for robust and sustainable funding for fundamental research in Canada. While CSMB continues working with our partners including Research Canada, we also develop and implement our own advocacy efforts to ensure that the concerns and solutions of CSMB members is heard on parliament hill.

The CSMB is your voice in Ottawa.
