CBRF Hubs
The Government of Canada, through Stage 1 of the integrated Canada Biomedical Research Fund (CBRF), provided a $10 million investment to support the creation of five multidisciplinary research hubs that will strengthen Canada’s biomanufacturing and life sciences sector while protecting Canadians against future health threats. The Hubs, each led by academic institutions, work together as a collaborative pan-Canadian network.
CBRF Hubs
- Canada’s Immuno-Engineering and Biomanufacturing Hub, led by The University of British Columbia
- CBRF PRAIRIE Hub for Pandemic Preparedness, led by the University of Alberta
- Canadian Pandemic Preparedness Hub, co-led by the University of Ottawa and McMaster University
- Canadian Hub for Health Intelligence & Innovation in Infectious Diseases (HI3), led by the University of Toronto
- Eastern Canada Pandemic Preparedness Hub, led by the Université de Montréal
Collectively, we empower national multi-sector collaboration to help Canada prepare, pivot, and respond to emerging health threats by:
- Encouraging Collaboration
- Strengthening Partnerships
- Informing National Strategy
- Advocating for Support
- Enhancing Communication
