Increasing Capacity
Capacity
There is a critical need to empower clinical researchers in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) to lead the research response to epidemic infections. We offer a portfolio of research capacity building initiatives to support emerging clinical researchers in exchanging knowledge, gaining confidence in their research and leadership skills, developing local and regional research agendas, and ultimately increasing the international footprint of their institution both within ISARIC and further afield.
Collaboration is at the core of everything we do and our research capacity strengthening programmes focus on reaching out to, and working with a number of regional and international initiatives. Learn more about past and ongoing opportunities.
Clinical Research During Outbreaks (CREDO)
The CREDO training provides trainees with a set of skills to lead the research response in an outbreak, and strengthens the national capacities of LMICs to generate clinical evidence during outbreaks and facilitate networking and the sharing of resources.

New review provides insights to inform future Nipah virus clinical trials
ISARIC researchers have published a new review outlining the key clinical characteristics and pathogenesis of Nipah virus disease. The review, which has been published in The Lancet Microbe, addresses critical knowledge gaps, helping to inform the design of future clinical trials and improve patient treatment.
New Toolkit Offers Practical Guidance to Tackle Stigma in Infectious Disease Outbreaks
A new set of guidelines developed through ISARIC, the University of Oxford Pandemic Sciences Institute, and Global Outbreak and Response Network (GOARN) provides outbreak response teams with evidence-based strategies to recognise and reduce stigma. The ISARIC Anti-Stigma Guidelines are now available open access to all organisations working to improve equity and trust in global outbreak management globally.
