CRNCC is a dynamic partnership between researchers and other key stakeholders including community service providers, consumers and policy makers. CRNCC encourages research and knowledge transfer in home and community care, a crucial, yet under-active research area in Canada. CRNCC operates through membership participation in a virtual network with a goal to build and disseminate evidence on community care and on its role within the continuum of care. For more information go to http://www.crncc.ca/.

CRNCC was initially funded in part by M-THAC as part of its dissemination strategy. It is currently funded by Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) under its KISS program.
