CRCEF was administered by the SSHRC on behalf of the [Canadian Institutes of Health Research](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Canadian-Institutes-of-Health-Research) (CIHR), SSHRC and the [Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Natural-Sciences-and-Engineering-Research-Council-of-Canada) (NSERC).[\[2\]](#fn2) In March 2021, CIHR announced a grant funding opportunity called "Encouraging vaccine confidence in Canada" to be co-administered with NSERC and SSHRC.
