This report presents key lessons and future guidance for research funders to address the challenges of funding and conducting research in the context of an epidemic or pandemic, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). As well as provide specific recommendations for action by funders to improve the implementation for the ongoing pandemic and for future epidemics and pandemics.
A collection of seven case studies, supporting the report ‘Funding and undertaking research during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic: COVID CIRCLE lessons for funders’. They highlight research projects and programmes which have demonstrated innovative best practice in research in epidemics.
This dialogue will facilitate discussion on what global funders have learnt from funding COVID-19 research, with a specific focus on low-and middle-income countries. These lessons provide an opportunity to inform future funding and research practice in epidemics and pandemics.
In the 9-month update, researchers and funders around the world can tap into the latest trends and gaps for future COVID-19 research to funnel resources towards greatest research needs.
An article by UKCDR, GloPID-R and the the Covid-19 Clinical Research Coalition published in The Lancet calls for urgent collaboration and coordination for unmet, underfunded COVID-19 research priorities in low-resource settings.
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.
Watch the event recording here. This meeting brought together global research funders, with the community of researchers to discuss Covid-19 research in low- and middle-income countries. Topics included Clinical research; Health systems & indirect impacts of COVID-19; Transmission; and One Health.
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.
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.
