The total amount available for this funding opportunity is $17,000,000.

To that end, and in alignment with the CRPPHE Interim investment plan, this funding opportunity aims to support existing research platforms that address all four objectives in any one of the priority research areas (listed below) that persist in Canada related to responding to pandemics and other acute public health threats of an infectious or communicable nature.
