COVID-19 Pandemic Response and Impact Grant Program (Co-RIG) – Phase I
The Foundation for Advancing Family Medicine (FAFM) at the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the CMA Foundation (CMAF) are pleased to announce the recipients of Co-RIG Program funding in Phase I.
This initial grant program invited short-term innovations with the capacity to maximize the effectiveness of care for patients while guarding the safety of health workers, and to generate rapid and measurable benefits to the patient community in Canada. The Co-RIG Adjudication Committee evaluated more than 130 proposed innovations with a broad range of applications in family medicine.
