Description: |
The objective of the MSM Research Program is to ensure the generation of adequate evidence-based research for alternative screening approaches for blood or plasma donors, which could evolve the current deferral policy for men who have sex with men (MSM) while maintaining the safety of the blood supply. Research priorities for this competition include:
Research to evaluate the impact of alternative risk reduction technologies on donor screening.
Research to evaluate operational feasibility of alternative donor deferral policies and their acceptability by Canadians.
Risk modeling and surveillance to assess the risk associated with alternative donor selection policies.
Research to inform the development of an individual risk assessment donor policy (behavioural based) or to strengthen the existing policy (population based). |
