GloPID-R brings together funders investing in research related to new or re-emerging infectious diseases. Our aim is to increase preparedness and speed up the research response to outbreaks with pandemic potential.
Through our worldwide network of research funders, we facilitate coordinated investment to improve preparedness and a rapid research response to epidemics and pandemics.
The overriding aim of our work is to impact global health by saving lives. To coordinate the work of funders, we are active on several fronts.
Supporting research preparedness & rapid response
to outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases
Promoting collaboration & information sharing
among funders based on common goals and principles
Identifying gaps & avoiding duplication
to align funding with research needs
GloPID-R is governed by an Executive Board with members from around the world.

The independent Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) is made up of 13 members. The SAB advises the Executive Board on questions related to preparedness and emergency response, providing expertise from a range of disciplines. Board members serve for three years with the option to renew for a second term.
The GloPID-R Secretariat provides scientific, strategic, organizational, financial and administrative support for the Executive Board and our members. It oversees GloPID-R communications, facilitating information sharing among our members and stakeholders while raising visibility of our global coalition and its activities.

At GloPID-R, we are committed to fostering an environment built on transparency, trust, and integrity. In the face of global health threats, open dialogue and information sharing are essential to ensure that critical insights are communicated rapidly and responsibly. We recognize that
effective outbreak response depends on creating spaces where experts can share observations and concerns without fear of repercussions.
As a trusted platform for experts, GloPID-R provides a secure environment where researchers and funders can exchange time-sensitive information and expertise. Our global network enables collaboration that upholds the values of responsible governance while protecting both individual
contributors and collective knowledge. We are committed to ensuring that all participants can engage in frank, constructive dialogue that advances our shared public health objectives.
We call on all GloPID-R meeting participants—funders, researchers, policymakers, and health agency responders—to:
Through close engagement with both local and international health agencies, GloPID-R actively promotes these principles of trust and transparency. By working together with mutual respect and professional integrity, we drive equitable and timely responses to health emergencies. Open
dialogue remains the cornerstone of effective global outbreak response, and we are committed to safeguarding the spaces where this essential exchange occurs.
The GloPID-R Secretariat is a project which receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101094188.
