Expert Panels

The CCPN has established five Expert Panels to provide planning and coordination to the CCPN. Each Expert Panel is focused around one or more of the Network's six strategic priorities. The five Expert Panels are:

  • Communications & Marketing
  • Knowledge Translation
  • Monitoring, Surveillance & Evaluation
  • Policy & Environment
  • Priority Programs & Health Disparities (Population Interventions)

The Expert Panels are responsible for conducting analysis of CVD gaps, developing annual work plans, ensuring successful implementation of work plan activities, and identifying CCPN priority initiatives. The Panels will bring forth recommendations for identifying CCPN Priority Initiatives for implementation during each planning cycle and will provide oversight to implementation of these priority initiatives. The Expert Panels will serve as the coordinating mechanism for regional activity under their respective areas of responsibility. Each of the Expert Panel Chairs will act to ensure maximum integration with the activities of other standing committees.
