The objective is to invest in research areas related to COVID-19 in the Fall 2021 project grant competition.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

Research, identify, address and/or share best and wise program and policy practices, and/or critical knowledge gaps, including the collection and management and analysis of high-quality and real-time data, related to addressing the immediate impacts and future consequences of COVID-19, among distinct Indigenous populations, communities and individuals;
Research and enable a comprehensive and timely understanding of the implications and impact of COVID-19, including emerging variants and the long COVID condition, within distinct Indigenous communities, and their relevance for public health, health systems and policy;
Identify, implement, evaluate and/or share culturally safe, distinctions-based and Indigenous-led and/or Indigenous community-led solutions to address the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences, among Indigenous communities;
Accelerate distinctions-based and Indigenous-led and/or Indigenous community-led research and knowledge mobilization activities related to COVID-19 within the context of Indigenous health while supporting Indigenous community capacity development in research and knowledge mobilization; and
Expand or adapt existing programs and infrastructure, in Indigenous communities to support capacity development of Indigenous communities to design, lead, and meaningfully participate in culturally safe responses to the current COVID-19 pandemic and/or future pandemic preparedness.

The Canadian Lung Association in partnership with the CIHR Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health (CIHR-ICRH) developed the Respiratory Health Effects of Long COVID Operating Grant competition. This competition aims to fund respiratory research projects that address one or more of the following research areas: • Treatment and quality of life; • Mechanism(s) of disease; and/or • Models of care for Long COVID.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to continue to:

Enable a comprehensive and timely understanding of the biological, clinical, social, and population health implications of emerging SARS-CoV-2 VOCs and their relevance for public health, health systems and policy;
Provide an integrated platform within Canada to focus on VOCs research through coordination across different disciplines and surveillance efforts with relevant local, national, and international partners; and
Continue to provide high-quality and real-time data on urgent and emerging research priorities in support of Canada rapid response to emerging SARS-COV2 variants, including through building and supporting capacity in all aspects of VOC related research.
These objectives will be achieved through the following continued actions:

CoVaRR-Net must continue to leverage existing national networks, infrastructures and relationships with local and international partners in order to increase timeliness, efficiency, and impact of research on the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 VOCs.
The network will continue to enact and refine governance structures and processes designed to enhance coordination and engagement with new and existing networks and partner organizations; supports an integrated interdisciplinary research approach; enable and accelerate resource and data sharing practices; maintain national and international linkages with research networks and consortiums (e.g.
