WHO Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence Roadmap

Pandemic and epidemic intelligence is essential for strengthening global capabilities for preventing, detecting and responding to current  and future public health threats. In 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence, in collaboration with global partners, conducted a research prioritisation exercise to identify key research gaps and opportunities. The results, published in a Technical Brief in May 2024, identified 23 ranked research priorities, categorised under three pillars: Better Data; Better Analytics; and Better Decisions, and aligned to eight themes for enhancing public health responses to pandemics and epidemics. To facilitate the tracking of grant funding progress and identification of persistent research gaps, the Pandemic PACT programme is collaborating with the WHO Hub to monitor investments in research on the priority areas outlined in the technical brief.

The information on the research location was collected where available from the grant application, and can be different to the location of research institution. Click on a country to see country-specific grant information (including joint-funded grants).

Number of Joint Grants

No data available due to applied filters.

Please note: Funding amounts are included only when they have been published by the funder. Some research projects are undertaken in multiple locations (countries). Some are funded by multiple funders, the breakdown of joint-funded projects can be found when selecting a country and 'show joint-funded countries'. Where research location is not explicitly specified the default used is the location of the research institution receiving the funds.
