Industry, government, patient advocacy groups, public funders, and academic thought leaders met in Toronto, Canada, to set into motion an initiative that addresses some of the scientific and organizational challenges of modern therapeutics discovery. What emerged from the meeting was a public-private partnership that seeks to establish proof of clinical mechanism (POCM) for selected "pioneer" d...

For the nascent field of advanced therapies, collaboration will be a game-changer, turning scientific progress that was once unimaginable into transformative medical practice. Despite promise for lifelong management and even cure of disease, skepticism remains about the feasibility of their delivery to patients, fueling investment risks. With the potential for long-term effectiveness in need of...

This paper examines the policy consequences of how many parties form governments in parliamentary systems. We argue that parties externalize costs not borne by their support groups; and larger parties internalize more costs than small parties because they represent more groups. This argument implies that the public sector should be larger the more parties there are in government. We test this p...

Canada on the Move (COTM) developed initially as an opportunistic attempt to provide researchers with unique and useful information on a private sector healthrelated sales marketing initiative. The articles within this supplement describe how the timing, context and willing engagement of key research, policy and practice leaders allowed the project to expand into a research data collection mech...

Current agriculture faces the challenge of doubling food production to meet the food needs of a population expected to reach 9 billion by mid-century whilst maintaining soil and water quality and conserving biodiversity. These challenges are more overwhelming for the rural poor, who are the custodians of environmental resources and at the same time particularly vulnerable to environmental degra...
