ISARIC

Preventing illness and deaths from infectious disease outbreaks through investigator-led clinical research networks.

The International Severe Acute Respiratory and emerging Infection Consortium (ISARIC) is a global federation of investigator-led clinical research networks: a network of networks. ISARIC has over 60 member networks, and many partners, from around the world. Together we conduct clinical research to improve patients’ care and facilitate a globally coordinated and agile research response to infectious disease threats. For over a decade, we have been generating clinically meaningful research evidence for diseases including COVID-19, dengue, Ebola, Lassa fever, Nipah, mpox and bubonic plague.

Join ISARIC 

We invite clinical research networks working on epidemic-prone infectious diseases around the globe to join ISARIC through a membership application process. 

Curious about what it means to be part of our ever-growing global platform? Hear directly from members, explore the benefits of an ISARIC membership and learn more about the application process to become part of our global coalition.
