Centre for Research on Pandemic Preparedness and Health Emergencies - Investments

As announced on January 14, 2022, the CRPPHE has ongoing funding from the Government of Canada to help advance Canada’s emergency preparedness by identifying and filling critical gaps related to preventing, preparing for, and responding to health emergencies. This includes knowledge sharing, research coordination, capacity-building, and proactive investments in research and research infrastructure as well as supporting research in times of emergency.

The CRPPHE’s investments are guided by an Interim Investment Plan 2023–2025 that was developed through engagement with federal, provincial and territorial governments, academia, and non-governmental sectors, including CIHR Institutes, and has been endorsed by the CRPPHE Steering Committee. A long-term investment plan is under development that will take stock of COVID-19 lessons learned activities that have been undertaken or are underway across Canada and internationally as well as broader engagement with stakeholders. Until this long-term strategy is finalized, the Interim Investment Plan 2023–2025 will inform CRPPHE investment decisions.

While the CRPPHE was founded in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the focus of its activities goes beyond a single health crisis. The CRPPHE addresses health emergencies and pandemics by supporting high-quality research, training and building capacity, and mobilizing robust research evidence to support decision-making. Its efforts will contribute to ensuring Canada has an emergency-ready health research system that will protect the health of all Canadians.
