The living rapid reviews are led by researchers at the [Knowledge Synthesis and Application Unit][1] at the [University of Ottawa School of Epidemiology and Public Health][2]. The evidence will be used by members of the Rapid Testing Expert Advisory Group, Ireland. This research was funded by the Health Research Board through Evidence Synthesis Ireland [HRB Grant Number CBES-2018-001]. The living rapid reviews were also funded by The Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research Evidence Alliance (SPOR EA) which is supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) under the Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) initiative.
