Covid-19 Immunity Task Force Databank

CITF

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
From April 2020 to March 2023, the Covid-19 Immunity Task Force (CITF) supported 120 studies to generate knowledge about immunity to SARS-CoV-2. The subjects addressed by these studies include the extent of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Canada, the nature of immunity, vaccine effectiveness and safety, and the need for booster shots among different communities and priority populations in Canada. The CITF Databank was developed to further enhance the impact of CITF funded studies by allowing additional research using the data collected from CITF-supported studies. The CITF Databank centralizes and harmonizes individual-level data from CITF-funded studies that have met all ethical requirements to deposit data in the CITF Databank and have completed a data sharing agreement. The CITF Databank is an internationally unique resource for sharing epidemiological and laboratory data from studies about SARS-CoV-2 immunity in different populations. The types of research that are possible with data from the CITF Databank include observational epidemiological studies, mathematical modelling research, and comparative evaluation of surveillance and laboratory methods.

Canadian Wildland Fire Information System

Système canadien d'information sur les feux de végétation

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
The Large Fire Database (LFDB) is a compilation of forest fire data from all Canadian agencies, including provinces, territories, and Parks Canada. The data set includes only fires greater than 200 hectares in final size; these represent only a few percent of all fires but account for most of the area burned (usually more than 97%). Therefore, the LFDB can be used for spatial and temporal analyses of landscape-scale fire impacts. For information on smaller fires (up to 200 ha in final size), please contact individual fire agencies. Links to other agencies can be found through the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC).
