One mechanism that has become very useful is the CanCOVID platform. It's a platform that is now linking all COVID-based researchers in a number of different areas. It's very expensive to maintain. I know there have been discussions about having the government help fund initiatives such as that.
The CanCOVID platform really helps you to find the right collaborator, if you don't know who that is, who you should be asking your questions to. The platform allows individuals and individual researchers to find the collaborators and to initiate conversations. It has been a really excellent resource, and funding resources such as that can be very helpful.
