We are proud to share that Dr. Brian Grunau has received $2.1 million of funding from Public Health Agency of Canada’s COVID-19 Immunity Task Force (CITF) funding opportunity, for his research project entitled COVID-19 Occupational Risks, Seroprevalence and Immunity among Paramedics in Canada (CORSIP Canada)!
The funding from CITF is part of an opportunity related to COVID-19 Hot Spots involving population-based studies that will report novel data relating to COVID-19 infection and immunity in three types of COVID-19 “hot spots”: i) geographic areas; ii) long-term care facilities; and iii) occupation groups.
Dr. Grunau’s study will contribute to our understanding of the dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 infection and immunity in high- versus low-risk communities and evaluate interventions to decrease risk of infection in these settings.
We wish Dr. Grunau great success with this exciting project!
