This morning, many research agencies had suspended activities because of the funding lapse, shutting down public websites, preparing to shutter laboratories, and planning to
postpone grant review panels.
Beaudet also indicated CIHR is
postponing the deadline on a forthcoming
grant competition until after the working group meets, and Philpott said the results of the meeting will be expected to inform the findings of a recently launched Advisory
