Description: |
Amidst this remarkable time of uncertainty and anxiety, Research Western and Lawson Health Research Institute are coordinating activities to support rapid response research that explores and seeks solutions with respect to the general theme of ?Surviving Pandemics: Multidisciplinary Approaches to Resilience and Recovery.? Projects may address any aspect of the problem. This funding opportunity is particularly interested in proposals that employ a multi-disciplinary approach. In this regard, we wish to engage our entire research community in a city-wide program of research development that will have meaningful and lasting impact. We aim to contribute a broad range of knowledge regarding how we as a society, including our Indigenous communities, are coping with the COVID-19 pandemic by providing evidence, tools, theories, and guidelines that will positively impact how we and future generations will face subsequent pandemics. |
