“…Canada has shown consistent leadership in its national efforts to promote impactful ELSI research into regenerative medicine, such as stem cell research, tissue engineering, and gene editing 1 , 2 . For example, since its launch in 2001, the $90 M CAD Stem Cell Network (SCN), has been a catalyst for the translation of stem cell research into clinical and commercial products, and for innovative programs in ethics, law, sociology, health economics, communications, and other societal developments in this rapidly evolving area 3 . Early successes included the establishment of a global policy database of regulations on somatic cell nuclear transfer and human embryonic stem cell research, legal scholarship into intellectual property, biobanking, confidentiality, consent, and extensive public outreach, and partnerships with organizations internationally 4 .…”

Regenerative medicine has attracted the interest of scientists, physicians, and patient communities, and as well as policy-makers and the broader public given related ethical, legal, and social implications. Here we examine past initiatives in the ethical, legal and social implications arena in regenerative medicine, and offer our views on actionable priorities for the future in six key areas: capacity building, policy, engagement with industry, resaerch ethics, communication, and community building.

The Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE) is an innovative model of large-scale research networks that began in Canada in 1989, and has since been adopted by numerous countries around the globe. The Canadian Stem Cell Network (SCN), an NCE that has fostered stem cell research and innovation in Canada, has supported over 1800 trainees since its inception in 2001. In the present study we assess the impact of such a network on its research trainees professional decision-making and movements. A database populated by the SCN between the years 2001-2013 was utilized to describe trainee professional movement between sectors and geographic regions. Focus groups of SCN trainees (n = 27) were carried out and major themes and subthemes were derived from the discourse using a thematic analysis approach. We found that most SCN trainees remained in Canada and in academic positions after leaving the SCN. Trainees expressed a desire to work in environments where their scientific interests and ideas are nurtured, where funding is stable, and where supervisor mentorship is readily accessible. SCN trainees value the unique opportunities provided by the NCE, including opportunities to network with peers, to attend various workshops and to broaden their knowledge and interest base beyond science and academia. Challenges faced by postdoctoral fellows and recommendations for future NCEs are also discussed. The findings here can be used to form evidence-based recommendations for future research networks and for policy pertaining to the recruitment and retention of highly qualified personnel in stem cell research.
