The Paediatric Investigator Collaborative Network on Infections in Canada (PICNIC) was founded in 1989 by a group of Canadian physicians with a passion for improving the care of children with infections. As a research network, PICNIC aims to co-operatively facilitate investigator-initiated studies in the field of paediatric infectious diseases. PICNIC studies strive for clinical relevance, scientific validity, and feasibility. In 2017, PICNIC became the research arm of the AMMI Canada Paediatric Committee with the goal of expanding our work and continuing to produce data which positively impacts the health of children. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      The goal of the Member-in-Training position is to build the capacity of the next generation of Paediatric Infectious Disease and Microbiology research leaders through mentorship and participation in executive committee meetings, strategy, and decisions. The Member-in-Training position will be a full voting position for submitted research proposals. There will be 1 to 2 Members-in-Training on the executive committee at any point in time. The term will be for two years, and efforts will be made to stagger start dates such that each year a new Member-in-Training begins. In cases in which the Member-in-Training\u2019s term extends into their post training period, their position on the PICNIC executive committee can continue until the end of the two-year term. The role and responsibility of the Member-in-Training may include but is not restricted to: <\/p>
