Description
This opportunity funds the creation of a national, multi-sectoral, and interdisciplinary research network focused on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) within a One Health framework in Canada. The aim is to address the complex challenges posed by AMR by fostering collaboration across human, animal, plant, and environmental health sectors. The network will advance research, coordinate capacity building and training, mobilize knowledge, and ensure outputs inform actionable guidelines and policies. The initiative emphasizes inclusive governance, regional representation, equity, diversity, inclusion, and meaningful engagement with Indigenous Peoples and communities.
