Professors at Lakehead University are getting money to finance research related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Three of them will be sharing in over $73,000 in Research of Canada grants for their separate projects.

Rebecca Schiff will examine the challenges of addressing homelessness in rural and remote parts of Canada during a pandemic.

Kathy Kortes-Miller, is going to study the experience of family caregivers of Ontario residents in long-term care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Karl Skogstad will attempt to learn more about the economic impact of COVID-19 on the economy of Ontario’s northern regions.

The funding will allow the researchers work on their projects for about one year.
