GloPID-R COVID-19 highlights of 2020
As we approach the end of 2020, GloPID-R would like to thank its members, observers and partners for their collaboration, energy and support over the past, extraordinary year and to wish you all a very happy holiday season.
Together we have advanced collaboration between funding organizations and researchers around the world; we have worked alongside our partners to identify the most urgent research priorities and enabled balanced investment in those priorities.
These combined efforts are key to combatting COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. In 2021 and beyond, GloPID-R will pursue its unique role in convening funders to ensure that the fight against all outbreaks, present and future, is effective, rapid and leaves no one behind.
