Operating Grant: COVID-19 Outpatient Therapeutic Studies
- Indirect Costs
Agreement Value:
$1,250,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jun 1, 2022 - May 31, 2023
Description:
The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
• Support an adaptive platform trial that is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness (including comparative clinical and cost-effectiveness), practical challenges, and outcomes of administering therapeutics for COVID-19 to non-hospitalized patients in Canadian healthcare settings using well-structured studies and well-defined outcome measures (e.g., the Core Outcomes Set (COS) for Trials in People With Coronavirus Disease 2019);
• Generate evidence on treatment effectiveness diverse populations. These can include: communities marginalized by race; First Nations, Inuit, Métis and Urban Indigenous Peoples; communities historically excluded from research; those experiencing health inequities; persons with disabilities and individuals across diverse health status (e.g. vaccination status, high risk populations, individuals with comorbid conditions); those experiencing gendered impacts of the pandemic; and those in life stages that have been underrepresented in research. Across all populations, researchers are encouraged to consider a lifecycle approach (from preconception to older adulthood) where relevant and appropriate to the known safety profile of the treatments; and
• Provide rapid evidence to inform clinical and health system management and public health response, and/or decision-making and planning within and across jurisdictions in Canada and internationally.
