A report, ‘Funding and undertaking research during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic: COVID CIRCLE lessons for funders’, published today, 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).
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.
A new briefing paper from the UK Collaborative on Development Research (UKCDR) shows how the UK can play a key partnership role in strengthening research systems in low- and middle-income countries to tackle global issues.
In a Wellcome Open Research blog post, Dr. Alice Norton explains how the COVID-19 Project Tracker and associated Living Mapping Review were developed and why they are so valuable for funders.
We are pleased to announce the appointment of John Kirkland, as Interim Executive Director of UKCDR, following the departure of Executive Director Marta Tufet.
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.
UK Collaborative on Development Research (UKCDR) has found that since 2015 the UK has invested over half a billion pounds on climate change and international development research, according to a much-anticipated report published today.

UKCDR and ESSENCE announce the launch of new Equitable Partnerships Resource Hub. The resource hub brings together existing guidance, tools and principles on equitable partnerships from across the world.
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.
We provide an overview of the latest research for international development funding opportunities in the UK: ranging from major initiatives to small research grants, workshop and travel grants, prizes and awards, and individual fellowships and studentships.
These resources from global partners provide guidance on how to ensure that the concept of equity is built into a partnership from its formation, as well as advice on how to organise research collaborations to achieve a mutual spread of responsibilities and benefits.
