Project Summary

The overarching goal of the CLSA COVID-19 Platform is to provide rapid access of data to the research community in Canada and elsewhere to address urgent questions related to COVID-19 now and in the future. The CLSA already has a full structure and mechanism in place to share data and samples with researchers and partners. We will ensure that data for a wide variety of research on COVID-19 are provided in an expedited fashion to ensure timely research to address current needs of public health and the health-care system.
