Resources
ISARIC offers a vast library of downloadable or interactive resources. They are continuously updated by our team members and provide the most up-to-date tools and support for infectious disease research.
We also provide news about community engagement activities, involvement opportunities with ISARIC, funding and fellowship announcements, and access to ISARIC outputs over the years.

Invitation to partner in the development and delivery of the ISARIC outcome harmonisation and consensus process programme
Closing date - August 10, 2025
ISARIC is seeking two early career researchers, with the support of their supervisor(s) and institution(s), to partner in the development and delivery of research on variable/outcome harmonisation processes (with a strong focus on Core Outcome Sets (COS) development). COS are a selection of the most critical research study outcomes agreed upon by people with lived experience and the research community that aim to improve research quality, clinical trial conduct, data comparability, and ...

Invitation to partner in the delivery and development of the ISARIC Data Management Centre
Closing date - August 10, 2025
ISARIC is seeking a partner institution to act as a Data Management Centre (DMC) to support the development and delivery of data management services and innovation for ISARIC’s global studies, including the Clinical Characterisation Protocol (CCP). The successful institution will work with the ISARIC Global Support Centre to co-develop a global strategy that supports data management for outbreak research preparedness and response. The DMC will assume responsibility for the management of ... Learn more
Clinical Characterisation Protocol
The Clinical Characterisation Protocol (CCP) is designed for any severe or potentially severe acute infection of public health interest.
It is a standardised protocol that enables data and biological samples to be collected rapidly in a globally-harmonised manner.
Core Outcome Sets
A core outcome set provides a minimal list of outcome measures to be reported in all clinical trials in a specific disease area. The core outcome set does not preclude trialists from selecting primary, secondary, or safety outcome measures that are not in the core set. ISARIC’S COS project will contribute to improved research quality, data comparability, and evidence synthesis, ultimately facilitating the development of effective interventions and evidence-based clinical practice.
Data
The ISARIC Clinical Epidemiology Platform is a suite of standardised, openly-available tools to support collection and analysis of clinical data from individuals with emerging infectious disease. The platform is designed to support research and facilitate global collaboration. This platform offers tools that provides outbreak-specific Case Report Forms, supports the launch of a database, and allows you to perform data visualisation and statistical analysis on the data you collect. To learn more about these tools, data access, existing analyses, and details about our global data partners, please visit our data section.
Community Engagement
The nature of ISARIC’s work means that patients and the wider community are at the core of what we do. It is therefore critical that we involve the views and opinions of those individuals in how we prioritise, design, and conduct our work. Community engagement can also greatly improve the relevance and impact of research – by increasing uptake of research initiatives by the community of potential participants and by addressing the needs of end-users of the research, to name a few benefits. Community engagement also gives back to the community through increasing the public’s understanding of the research process and of specific conditions.
Stigma
Stigma happens when a person or group is denied full social acceptance because of association with something (such as an illness) that is considered bad or shameful by others in their society. ISARIC researchers have worked on several studies, and have developed various tools and surveys to support stigma-related research.
Current opportunities
Through our platform, we also provide and support opportunities for involvement in clinical research, community engagement work, capacity building, laboratory training, and more activities that contribute towards effective disease preparedness and response. Find out more about ongoing opportunities.
