Governance

The CAnD3 governance structure is designed to enable a collaborative partnership that offers a dynamic, nimble training program to best tool up our trainees and staff participants and support data-driven decision-making in multiple sectors of society.

The committees reflect the core features of the program and all key stakeholders in CAnD3 are represented in their membership to ensure that our governance processes integrate the perspectives of all sectors into co-construction processes. Committee membership is one to three years and is renewed in a staggered fashion to maximize organizational memory and committee function.

Executive Committee

The executive committee provides intellectual and strategic direction, oversight on operations and finances, and final decision-making authority on all key partnership components.

Substantive Committee

The substantive content committee ensures coverage of all substantive areas, including four population aging axes, throughout the monthly learning activities and consortium-wide events.

Skills Committee

The skills training committee ensures coverage of partners’ priorities for our skills (population data science, data-to-decision-making) throughout the monthly learning activities and consortium-wide events.

Intersectoral Committee

The intersectoral committee facilitates the input of CAnD3 partners in key deliberations and decision-making, providing advice on addressing the research and training needs of the non-academic CAnD3 partners.

Fellows Committee*

The Fellows committee is made up of the current cohort of Fellows to provide feedback, suggest improvements, and ensure that they are receiving all the support they need to succeed.

International Committee

The international partner engagement committee supports high-quality international partner and trainee experience, including linkages to decision-makers in international jurisdictions.

*The chair of the Fellows committee is also a member of the executive committee to ensure a direct line of communication between the Fellows and the whole governing body. The Fellows committee meet bimonthly, while the Fellows assembly—consisting of all alums and the current cohort—meet annually.
