COVID-19
CIHR continues to take action to support our grants, scholarships and awards recipients, as well applicants, peer reviewers and employees. 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.
