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.

Successful partners to expand implementation and development of ISARIC Clinical Characterisation Protocol
We are pleased to announce the successful partners from the recent call for partners in the delivery and development of the ISARIC Clinical Characterisation Protocol (CCP). In December 2024, an invitation was sent out to partner in the delivery and development of the ISARIC CCP. The ISARIC CCP is an observational study framework designed to rapidly characterise the clinical epidemiology and pathogenesis of epidemic prone infectious diseases to inform patient care and public health action. ...
