As part of the report ‘Funding and undertaking research during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic: COVID CIRCLE lessons for funders’, we have developed seven case studies involving research projects and programmes which have demonstrated innovative best practice in research in epidemics.

Each case study highlights factors of success in applying one or more of the Seven Funder Principles for supporting high quality research for the most pressing global needs in epidemics and pandemics, to inform future funding and research practice.
