Member Organizations

MICYRN incorporated as a federal not-for-profit society in January 2011. This process set the official bylaws by which MICYRN is governed, and helped define the members of MICYRN to be “a Canadian organization engaged in maternal, infant, child, or youth health research.” MICYRN members include all 18 of the child and child-maternal and the three largest maternal health research organizations in Canada.

The MICYRN member organizations are based at academic health centres affiliated with the 17 medical schools in the country. Each member organization names a voting representative, as listed below.
