SUMMARY:Know Your Payers: Will Insurers Pay for Your Health Technology?
DESCRIPTION:Understanding how private insurance companies and publicly funded health systems decide which health technologies to pay for and how much they are willing to pay for them is a critical part of a successful commercialization strategy. Health Technology Assessment (or HTA) is an evaluation process that provides payers with recommendations on when\, and at what price\, a technology should be made available to a given patient population. \nThis webinar will provide an overview of HTA\, including explanations of key concepts like economic evaluation\, cost-effectiveness analysis\, incremental cost-effectiveness ratios and quality-adjusted life years. \nFollowing the webinar\, participants will be able to explain how and why health systems use HTA\, describe the assumptions and evidence necessary to quantify the value-for-money of a new health technology\, and define a set of key HTA concepts.

SUMMARY:9th TFRI Scientific Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Terry Fox Research Institute is pleased to announce the return of its scientific meeting in November 2022\, with an expanded agenda and more attendees to welcome a new community of funded researchers as well as returning ones!  \nThe theme for this year’s meeting is Cancer Research: Past\, Present and Future. Our Scientific Organizing Committee is in the midst of developing the scientific program for the meeting right now! \nThis meeting will be at the Vancouver Convention Centre (VCC) West Nov. 3-6 (including travel dates)\, commencing with registration Nov. 3 (evening) and the meeting on Friday Nov. 4 and Saturday Nov. 5. There will be a tribute to TFRI’s Founding President and Scientific Director Dr. Victor Ling at a dinner celebration on the evening of Nov. 5. TFRI will follow COVID protocols in place at the time of meeting. \nTFRI organizes a Scientific Meeting (SM) as an opportunity for the whole community of Terry Fox-funded researchers to get together to share ideas and to discuss their research. The meeting is by invitation only. Our meeting this year will be a two-day session consisting of several plenaries\, poster presentations and rapid-fire talks as well as breakouts. We will conclude with a celebratory dinner in recognition of Dr. Victor Ling’s contribution to TFRI over 15 years. Registration for this event is by-invitation only.

SUMMARY:Lost in Translation: Leveraging Preclinical Models to Interrogate Effects of Developmental Cannabis Exposure
DESCRIPTION:Host: Melanie Lysenko-Martin\nSpeaker: Dr. Ryan McLaughlin\, Washington State University \nMaternal cannabis use is a growing public health concern\, yet the long-term effects of prenatal cannabis exposure remain elusive. Our understanding of how prenatal cannabis exposure affects the brain and behavior is critically informed by preclinical animal models that capture core components of human cannabis use. To this end\, our laboratory and others have recently developed more translational models of cannabis use that have potential to provide unprecedented insight into the protracted effects of cannabis exposure during sensitive developmental stages.  In this presentation\, I will describe recent data from our laboratory using a novel model of cannabis vapor self-administration in pregnant rat dams to investigate the long-term effects of maternal cannabis use on emotional reactivity\, cognitive flexibility\, and cannabis-seeking behavior. Additionally\, I will present emerging data from our laboratory revealing altered excitatory inputs onto corticostriatal projection neurons in cannabis-exposed adult offspring\, which could represent a mechanism by which prenatal cannabis exposure impacts reward-relevant behavior. Altogether\, our data support the use of the cannabis vapor self-administration approach to investigate long-term effects of maternal cannabis use in developing offspring. \nZoom option if unable to attend in person \n\nZoom link here (click on “Join a meeting”)\nMeeting ID: 99412 188589\nPasscode: 188589
