-Produce rapid knowledge syntheses and associated evidence-based products (e.g., evidence profiles) related to the COVID-19 pandemic, based on current evidence and that responds to an identified evidence need;
-Provide decision-makers with high-quality, timely, accessible and relevant evidence for the rapid translation of knowledge into policy, practice and/or clinical guidelines to address the immediate response to the pandemic; and
-Address evidence gaps and build the evidence base for the response to COVID-19;
-Enhance national and international coordination across knowledge synthesis experts and organizations involved in producing COVID-19 related products.
