Rapid Evidence Service:  

About the National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools' Rapid Evidence Service 

The National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools’ (NCCMT) Rapid Evidence Service supports the public health sector’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Service answers priority COVID-19 questions from public health professionals with rapid reviews.

The NCCMT has answered questions from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI), the Pan-Canadian Public Health Network’s Special Advisory Committee and Technical Advisory Committee on COVID-19 and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). We have also supported other organizations at international, federal, provincial, territorial and local levels.

The Rapid Evidence Service team applies an internationally accepted rapid review methodology. 

Priority topics are updated as capacity allows.
