Scientists, physicians, funders, and policy makers, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Institute of Tropical Medicine and the Pasteur Institute, have come together in an international coalition called the COVID-19 Clinical Research Coalition, to help counter the COVID-19 pandemic.

The coalition aims to accelerate desperately needed COVID-19 research in those areas where the virus could wreak havoc on already-fragile health systems and cause the greatest health impact on vulnerable populations.

The coalition welcomes collaboration with organisations ready to contribute.
