Covid-19 Research

In a rapid response to the emerging COVID-19 pandemic, the BRCCH launched its Fast Track Call (FTC) for Acute Global Health Challenges in 2020.

The FTC’s objectives were to quickly enable research to help immediately mitigate health challenges presented by the virus in the short-term and to contribute to preparedness and a reduced disease burden in the future.
