To date, four COVID-19 vaccines have been approved for use in Canada and priority populations are already receiving their vaccinations. However, critical questions remain around the vaccines’ performance, access, and public perception that need evidence-based answers from BC researchers.
As research funders, MSFHR, Genome BC and the BCCDC Foundation for Public Health have joined forces to support BC-based research that addresses, and implements solutions for, knowledge gaps around COVID-19 vaccination.
BC researchers who are able to rapidly address knowledge gaps and urgently implement evidence are invited to submit Expressions of Interest (EOI).
EOIs must be submitted by March 25, 2021 at 5 p.m. PDT. Projects deemed to be well-aligned with evolving sector needs will be invited to submit full proposals by April 15, 2021 at 5 p.m. PDT. For questions, please contact covid19@genomebc.ca.
