Funding Opportunities for COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 Research

There are a growing number of funding mechanisms geared towards improving the understanding of clinical outcomes SARS-CoV-2 infections and COVID-19 disease. Genomic studies utilizing model systems to study consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection are of particular interest, with supported research expected to guide future efforts in diagnosis, prevention, mitigation, and treatment of this viral infection. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and related organizations have issued several notices of special interest (NOSI) to highlight the urgent need for research on COVID-19. Many additional funding agencies and commercial entities continue to unite behind the need for research to continue.


In addition to searching for research funds through the usual methods, the unique situation continues to generate opportunities from new sources. Johns Hopkins University has compiled a regularly-updated resource page for US researchers to easily access COVID-19 funding opportunities:
