The Royal Society of Canada Working Group, in partnership with CIHR, is conducting an international knowledge exchange initiative to develop actionable recommendations for strengthening Canada's health research system post-pandemic. The initiative involves sessions with various stakeholders to gather input on strategies addressing four themes from the WHO research system framework: governance/stewardship, capacity building, financing, and producing/using research. Surveys are used to collect data on organizational strategies, modifications for pandemic recovery, and competing interests, with results informing the development of recommendations.
