UKCDR is working with its members to support coordination of UK research funding in response to COVID-19.
COVID CIRCLE - COVID-19 Research Coordination and Learning will coordinate funding efforts, connect networks of researchers, and collate learnings to inform future epidemic and pandemic responses with a focus on lower-resource settings.
The UKCDR epidemics preparedness and response group brings together UK research funders of epidemics research.
A live database of funded research projects on COVID-19 that will help funders and researchers identify gaps and opportunities and inform future research investments or coordination needs.
In our six-month update of our Living Mapping Review, researchers and funders around the world can tap into the latest trends and gaps for future COVID-19 research to funnel resources to where there is the greatest research need.
UKCDR & GloPID-R are excited to announce the launch of the COVID CIRCLE Researcher Platform. This is a public website to facilitate information sharing on COVID-19 research and bring together the global research community working on COVID-19 research, in and for low resource settings.
To make best use of the expansive data in the COVID-19 Research Project Tracker, UKCDR & GloPID-R have produced a Living Mapping Review of COVID-19 funded research projects, which analyses globally funded COVID-19 related research.
In-depth analyses of the baseline Living Mapping Review for COVID-19 funded research projects in Africa (as of 15th July 2020) to determine the funding landscape and alignment of the projects to research priorities of relevance to Africa.
A set of principles to align research funders towards a coordinated effort for supporting high-quality research for the most pressing global needs in epidemics and pandemics.
TGHN, AAS and UKCDR have published findings of a global study to establish what are the remaining research priorities for COVID-19 and whether they are the same across the globe.
Dr Jaideep Gupte, Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) Challenge Leader for Cities and Sustainable Infrastructure explores how COVID-19 is reinforcing the world’s need to ‘think’, ‘make’ and ‘live’ our urban environments differently over the next 10 years.
In this article, the GCRF Challenge Leaders for Education and Food Systems seek to to explore the impact of coronavirus-related school closures on children’s access to food.
