COVID-19
CIHR continues to take action to support our grants, scholarships and awards recipients, as well applicants, peer reviewers and employees. We are working with international partners to ensure the alignment and coordination of Canada’s research with the international response.
To further support the health research community, we have collected a number of CIHR and other COVID-19 resources that may also be valuable to researchers, decision-makers and health care workers, and which include opportunities for collaboration, platforms to access and share data, evidence syntheses repositories, and other services and tools to advance COVID-19 related work.
