Calls for funding

In the mission to catalyze equitable progress in research, and the Coalition’s commitment to equitable funding, the Coalition is proud to facilitate the sharing of funding opportunities for researchers across various disciplines.

Our aim is to create a space where motivated researchers can discover financial resources for their projects. This initiative is particularly significant for empowering research in low-resource settings, where funding can have the most significant impact.

If you have a funding opportunity to share, or know of one that could benefit the research community, we invite you to connect with us at info@covid19crc-dnd-60641.grdnrs-dev.com.
