COVID-19 Clinical Research Coalition

A global research response to COVID-19 driven by the needs of low-resource settings

The COVID-19 Clinical Research Coalition advances research driven by the needs of people in low-resource settings around the world. We are more than 900 scientific organizations and individuals from 98 countries, and we are leading, planning or participating in research and advocacy projects to benefit populations that haven’t been prioritized in the global research response to COVID-19. New members are always welcome – join us!

We managed to have COVID-19 vaccines produced with ethical approval, but we were not able to distribute them ethically. Can we think differently? We need to broaden our ethical frameworks, and we need to evaluate our international research partnerships to ensure that they embody solidarity, recognition of local solutions and expertise, and justice.

Research areas

Our members are working on many projects, including Africa’s largest multi-country clinical trial to treat mild to moderate COVID-19; a review of the ethics of exclusion in vaccine trials; and studies on vaccine confidence in different populations. Some have joined expert working or advisory groups – see topic list below. Several of these groups have developed shortlists of priority research questions in low-resource settings.
