Stage 2 Canada Biomedical Research Fund and Biosciences Research Infrastructure Fund

Please note that the Stage 2 Canada Biomedical Research Fund and Biosciences Research Infrastructure Fund call is now open.

 

The overall objective of this major, large-scale initiative is to build a strong, competitive biomanufacturing and life sciences sector in Canada as well as to ensure Canada is prepared for future pandemics.  This will be accomplished by increasing domestic capacity through investments and partnerships the goal of which is to produce life-saving vaccines and therapeutics.

 

All applications at Stage 2 must be endorsed by one of the hubs funded under Stage 1 of the CBRF-BRIF competition.  As well, applications must be aligned with one of the hubs’ priorities, vision, and program of research, support pandemic preparedness and respond to emerging health threats.
