Published purpose

The specific objective(s) of this funding opportunity are to continue to: • Accelerate the knowledge mobilization of high-quality and real-time evidence and/or solutions that responds to an identified evidence need(s) to support Canada’s ongoing response to the pandemic in order to better prevent, detect, treat and manage COVID-19; and • Generate evidence related to one or more diverse population(s), by addressing, for instance: health equity considerations, health status (e.g. high risk populations, individuals with comorbid conditions), sex and gender, a life cycle approach (from children to aging adults), and/or the needs of racialized or First Nations, Inuit, Metis and Urban Indigenous populations to equitably improve health outcomes across the lifecycle. Note: It is expected that, where appropriate, projects will enhance local, national and/or international collaborative efforts, including in low- and middle-income countries, to mitigate the rapid spread of COVID-19 and related negative consequences.
