Welcome to OsNET, Canada’s Bone Health Research Network

Bone conditions have a profound impact on more than 2 million Canadians, including adults, children and their families. We are striving to improve their lives through the first ever Canadian Bone Health Research Network.

Together, We Will Make a Difference

We foster collaboration among patients, trainees, scientists, healthcare professionals & bone health organizations to advance bone research & turn this knowledge into action to improve the bone health of Canadians.

The Challenge

Canada is home to numerous internationally renowned bone researchers, healthcare professionals & patient partners yet there is no formal network that brings bone health teams together to capitalize on this expertise.

The Solution

A Canadian network called OsNET (Os=bones, NET=network), an inclusive, diverse & multidisciplinary group of patient partners, scientists, & healthcare professionals, driven to improve bone health for Canadians of all ages.
