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.
