Abstract
Objectives: To incite discussion around the financial sustainability of The Cochrane Collaboration.

Description: This poster will address the issue of funding. The number of Cochrane Reviews is increasing, but the total number still lags behind nearly 10-year-old estimates that we would need at least 10 000 Reviews to cover all clinical topics. In addition, keeping the existing Reviews up-to-date is proving to be a massive challenge. One factor in the sustainability of our work is financial sustainability. This poster will highlight the issue of funding and stir debate about how we might become more financially stable so that we can reach our goal of addressing all clinical questions.
