Background: The AfriCoVER proj...ect was selected for funding by EDCTP (The European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership) in June and is a collaboration between the Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp (ITM) and the Institutio Nacional de Saude Mozambique (INS). The AfriCoVER project aims to better understand the transmissibility and epidemic spread of COVID-19 in Mozambique and Sub-Saharan Africa. At the time of the application to EDCTP at the start of the pandemic, the existing safety protocols for personnel seemed sufficient, but in the meantime it is known that Covid-19totally differs from eg cholera, TB and even Ebola. The protocols must therefore be adjusted, but the additional resources for this are not provided for in the budget that EDCTP makes available for AfriCoVER. This subsidy from Flanders must make the necessary adjustments possible, so that the safety of the personnel deployed by INS can be better guaranteed.1. INS capacity building on COVID-19 for the activities within AfriCoVER in the following areas: Luminex assay (a specific type of test) and SARS-CoV-2 sequencing training (sequencing is a specific research technique)2. Biosafety training (training in measures and behavior to reduce the risk of infection while performing work)3. Integration of COVID-19 household surveillance in the existing surveillance of acute respiratory infections (surveillance involves the regular detection, registration and monitoring of infectious diseases, risk factors and risk groups and the systematic data collection in the context of quality assurance for the prevention of the infection., For example for drawing up protocols).

Using artificial intelligence ...for early detection of potential epidemic and pandemic outbreaks after COVID-19 in Argentina
more
|
The COVID-19 pandemic continue...s to be severe in Argentina. By mid-September 2020, there were 565,000 cases and 11,700 deaths due to the disease. This project seeks to lay the foundations for incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) and data science into the early detection of epidemic outbreaks like COVID-19. It will generate evidence-based preventive public health decision-making, including gendered perspectives, at the national, sub-national, and local levels. The initiative seeks to generate quality data and create the conditions for the progressive implementation of electronic health records at the provincial level. This initiative is structured in four activities. The first aims to develop AI solutions for the early detection of infectious diseases based on existing electronic health record databases. The second activity seeks to expand the functionalities of the electronic health records system in the National Ministry of Health, which is still at an early stage of development. The third activity will implement a pilot of an expanded version of the national electronic health record system in local health centres and hospitals in vulnerable neighbourhoods, with training for health centre staff and a user awareness campaign to secure the success of the strategy. Finally, the project will focus on planning, monitoring, evaluating, disseminating, and documenting the experience. The mitigation of gender biases will be addressed through the development of models that consider fairness strategies in AI.This work will be carried out as part of the COVID-19 Global South Artificial Intelligence and Data Innovation Program, funded by IDRC and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency.

Exploring and learning from ev...idence, policy, and systems responses to COVID-19 in West and Central Africa
more
|
An effective response to COVID...-19 requires a complex array of relevant evidence packaged in user-friendly forms to support decision-making about current and future responses. This project will map out existing evidence and its use in informing responses to COVID-19. It will identify sectoral evidence gaps (epidemiological, public health, health system, and health technology capacities, etc.), as well as intervention responses to emerging epidemics and pandemics. It will document, compare, and contrast experiences at national and subnational levels, with a focus on displaced and vulnerable populations across countries and sub-regional contexts. The project will be implemented in six countries in West and Central Africa: Benin, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Guinea, Nigeria, and Senegal. To cope with the fast-moving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the team is adopting a flexible study approach with iterative analysis over time. The deeper understanding generated by the project will support more detailed work and interventions that benefit displaced and other vulnerable populations. It will have an emphasis on integrating equity and gender considerations, with attention to information and experiences affecting vulnerable populations. The research team will engage with decision-makers to inform evolving decision-making and serve as a strong basis for building resilient health systems. The work will contribute to identifying areas for inclusion in sub-regional observatories and follow-up work in the West and Central Africa region for improved evidence-informed decision-making. The project will build collaborative learning within and across countries through discussions and policy dialogues with key stakeholders to inform appropriate multisectoral responses to COVID-19 and similar health emergencies.

RECTIFYING THE EFFECTS OF COVI...D-19 ON VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN WEST AFRICA: A RESEARCH-ACTION (RECOVER)

|
Rectifying the effects of COVI...D-19 on vulnerable populations in West Africa: a research-action (RECOVER)
more
|
The full impact of COVID-19 on... West Africa's vulnerable populations is not well understood. Beyond the effects on immediate health status, rising rates of sexual and gender-based violence and teenage pregnancy point to a significant negative impact as a direct consequence of the pandemic. Uncoordinated responses may unintentionally worsen these and other effects. This project supports the development of innovative strategies that will overcome this patchy knowledge of COVID-19's impact and address the fragmentation in policy responses to directly and coherently address the priority needs of vulnerable communities. Initially, researchers will undertake a rapid assessment of both the preliminary effects of COVID-19 and policy responses and strategies across the region to inform immediate, short-term policy and programmatic responses. The second stage will develop detailed case studies to expose specific COVID-19 impacts on vulnerable populations and a responsive policy framework and multisectoral approach to address these impacts for the post-COVID-19 era. Applying action-research methodologies, the project will collaborate with communities, policymakers, and implementers to jointly analyze the results and develop responses. This project aims to support West African countries to prepare for future pandemic outbreaks and minimize impact on vulnerable populations. It will strengthen collaboration and learning across seven Francophone and Anglophone research institutions and allow West Africans to develop relevant solutions to address their own specific regional challenges related to pandemics in both the short- and long-term.

COVID-19 Africa Rapid Grant Fu...nd
more
|
The COVID-19 pandemic presents... a significant challenge that requires a global response informed by evidence. On the African continent, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and the African Union are leading a continental response to COVID-19. At the national level, African governments have launched efforts to promote prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Public funding agencies and science granting councils are complementing these continental and national efforts by supporting research and research-related activities.This project supports the COVID-19 Africa Rapid Grant Fund, which will support research and science engagement projects across seventeen countries through a competitive, peer-reviewed call for research. The funding opportunity invites African researchers, science communicators, and science advisers to submit proposals on the following topics: the COVID-19 virus in Africa, prevention and control, African health governance systems, socio-cultural dynamics of transmission, science engagement, the impact of COVID-19 on individual and community mental health, and vulnerability. The Fund will support up to ninety projects over a 24-month period with the goal of strengthening the evidence base for mitigating the impact of COVID-19 and future pandemics. Moreover, the Fund will strengthen national and regional capacity to collaborate and respond to future shared challenges. The Africa Rapid Grant Fund was jointly established by IDRC, South Africa's National Research Foundation and its Department of Science and Innovation, the United Kingdom's Department for International Development and UK Research and Innovation through the Newton Fund, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, and the Fonds de recherche du Québec. The fifteen African agencies involved in the Science Granting Councils Initiative in sub-Saharan Africa are providing additional support.

PREDICTIVE MODELLING AND FOREC...ASTING OF THE TRANSMISSION OF COVID-19 IN AFRICA USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
more
|
Predictive modelling and forec...asting of the transmission of COVID-19 in Africa using artificial intelligence
more
|
Different phases of the COVID-...19 pandemic present governments and decision-makers across low- and middle-income countries with distinct challenges. While lockdowns and containment strategies show relative success in curbing the spread of COVID-19, the crippling socioeconomic impacts have put pressure on African governments to relax these public health measures. Integrating the power of artificial intelligence, predictive modelling, and simulations, this project supports data-driven decision-making to prevent and control the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa. It builds on a COVID-19 dashboard and transmission models that have been widely adopted by governments and international organizations. The project will develop modelling tools and simulation dashboards relevant to local health authorities to mitigate the impact of subsequent waves of infection. In addition, these tools will enable the researchers to evaluate the relative effectiveness and potential biases of public health interventions while accounting for local feasibility, cost, and socio-economic impact. Equity considerations are central to both project design and implementation, including active engagement with local communities and high-resolution indicators that incorporate the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on marginalized populations like women, rural communities, and informal workers. Communication strategies with local stakeholders will address dis- and misinformation about COVID-19 prevention and treatment. This work will be carried out as part of the COVID-19 Global South Artificial Intelligence and Data Innovation Program, funded by IDRC and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency.

Improving outcomes in individu...als with COVID-19 with renin-angiotensin system inhibition: the COVID-RASi trial
more
|
Cardiovascular disease is amon...g the leading causes of death associated with COVID-19. Elderly patients with a history of heart attack, stroke, hypertension, or diabetes have a significantly higher chance of dying compared to other infected patients. A clinical trial will be launched amongst COVID-19 patients aged 65 and older with at least one of three pre-existing conditions (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity) to evaluate whether the use of a group of common blood pressure drugs called renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASi) may protect high-risk COVID-19 patients. Preliminary evidence indicates that these drugs can be protective in high-risk patients. However, the data looked backwards at past events, which can be fraught with hidden biases. A rigorous, forward-looking trial to evaluate these agents in COVID-19 is thus required. A network of Canadian and international research institutes will evaluate whether adding RASi drugs, compared to no added treatment in high-risk COVID-19 patients, can decrease the chance of dying or requiring ventilators or intensive care units. If results confirm its benefit, using these common and inexpensive medications will potentially save many lives around the world. The project was selected for funding through the COVID-19 May 2020 Rapid Research Funding Opportunity, coordinated by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in partnership with IDRC and several other health research funding agencies across Canada.

RECTIFYING THE EFFECTS OF COVI...D-19 ON VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN WEST AFRICA: A RESEARCH-ACTION (RECOVER)

|
Rectifying the effects of COVI...D-19 on vulnerable populations in West Africa: a research-action (RECOVER)
more
|
The full impact of COVID-19 on... West Africa's vulnerable populations is not well understood. Beyond the effects on immediate health status, rising rates of sexual and gender-based violence and teenage pregnancy point to a significant negative impact as a direct consequence of the pandemic. Uncoordinated responses may unintentionally worsen these and other effects. This project supports the development of innovative strategies that will overcome this patchy knowledge of COVID-19's impact and address the fragmentation in policy responses to directly and coherently address the priority needs of vulnerable communities. Initially, researchers will undertake a rapid assessment of both the preliminary effects of COVID-19 and policy responses and strategies across the region to inform immediate, short-term policy and programmatic responses. The second stage will develop detailed case studies to expose specific COVID-19 impacts on vulnerable populations and a responsive policy framework and multisectoral approach to address these impacts for the post-COVID-19 era. Applying action-research methodologies, the project will collaborate with communities, policymakers, and implementers to jointly analyze the results and develop responses. This project aims to support West African countries to prepare for future pandemic outbreaks and minimize impact on vulnerable populations. It will strengthen collaboration and learning across seven Francophone and Anglophone research institutions and allow West Africans to develop relevant solutions to address their own specific regional challenges related to pandemics in both the short- and long-term.

PREDICTIVE MODELLING AND FOREC...ASTING OF THE TRANSMISSION OF COVID-19 IN AFRICA USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

|
Predictive modelling and forec...asting of the transmission of COVID-19 in Africa using artificial intelligence
more
|
Different phases of the COVID-...19 pandemic present governments and decision-makers across low- and middle-income countries with distinct challenges. While lockdowns and containment strategies show relative success in curbing the spread of COVID-19, the crippling socioeconomic impacts have put pressure on African governments to relax these public health measures. Integrating the power of artificial intelligence, predictive modelling, and simulations, this project supports data-driven decision-making to prevent and control the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa. It builds on a COVID-19 dashboard and transmission models that have been widely adopted by governments and international organizations. The project will develop modelling tools and simulation dashboards relevant to local health authorities to mitigate the impact of subsequent waves of infection. In addition, these tools will enable the researchers to evaluate the relative effectiveness and potential biases of public health interventions while accounting for local feasibility, cost, and socio-economic impact. Equity considerations are central to both project design and implementation, including active engagement with local communities and high-resolution indicators that incorporate the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on marginalized populations like women, rural communities, and informal workers. Communication strategies with local stakeholders will address dis- and misinformation about COVID-19 prevention and treatment. This work will be carried out as part of the COVID-19 Global South Artificial Intelligence and Data Innovation Program, funded by IDRC and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency.

Portable, low-cost hardware fo...r decentralized COVID-19 diagnostics for Canada, Colombia, and Ecuador
more

The unfolding COVID-19 pandemi...c highlights the critical need for a diverse diagnostics strategy. Reliance on a single, highly centralized diagnostic technology, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), has led to supply chain disruption and bottlenecks in testing access. As attention is turning to the tools needed to relaunch economies, two capabilities have been identified as key: decentralized diagnostic testing for COVID-19 and serological testing to screen population antibody levels. This project aims to develop, validate, and implement the molecular tools and hardware required to support the decentralized, high-capacity diagnostic and serological testing to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, Colombia, and Ecuador. The team proposes adapting a previously designed portable plate reader to deploy two key diagnostic modalities: a rapid (15 minute) molecular COVID-19 virologic test and serological testing of antibodies. Implementation and testing of this decentralized diagnostic capacity will be performed at small businesses in Canada, and with hospital workers and remote populations in Colombia and Ecuador. Together these tests will prevent a resurgence of infections as communities begin to reduce lockdown restrictions. It will also determine the prevalence of antibody levels in the population, which may help to promote strategic use of future vaccine stocks.The project was selected for funding through the COVID-19 May 2020 Rapid Research Funding Opportunity, coordinated by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in partnership with IDRC and several other health research funding agencies across Canada.

BROAD-SPECTRUM ANTIVIRAL NASAL... SPRAYS TO PREVENT INFECTION BY SARS-COV2 AND SEASONAL RESPIRATORY VIRUSES IN PATIENTS AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS
more
|
Broad-spectrum antiviral nasal... sprays to prevent infection by SARS-CoV2 and seasonal respiratory viruses in patients and healthcare providers
more
|
In March 2020, the World Healt...h Organization declared a pandemic due to the emergence of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) which causes COVID-19, a potentially lethal respiratory infection. There are currently no antiviral agents to prevent or treat SARS-CoV2 infections. This project proposes the optimization and prototype development of a broad spectrum antiviral pharmaceutical preparation (RespVirex) to protect healthcare workers and high-risk patients from SARS-CoV2 and dozens of other seasonal and pandemic viruses. The team aims to deliver RespVirex by nasal spray and nebulized aerosol. A nasal spray can be dosed conveniently by healthcare workers as needed during respiratory virus seasons or a pandemic. RespVirex can also be inhaled by nebulizer to treat the lower respiratory tract. The pharmaceutical formulation of the nasal spray and nebulized aerosol will be developed in Canada, while its ability to inhibit SARS-CoV2 and other respiratory viruses will be evaluated at the Institut Pasteur in Dakar, Senegal.The project was selected for funding through the COVID-19 May 2020 Rapid Research Funding Opportunity, coordinated by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in partnership with IDRC and several other health research funding agencies across Canada.

Improving outcomes in individu...als with COVID-19 with renin-angiotensin system inhibition: the COVID-RASi trial
more
|
Cardiovascular disease is amon...g the leading causes of death associated with COVID-19. Elderly patients with a history of heart attack, stroke, hypertension, or diabetes have a significantly higher chance of dying compared to other infected patients. A clinical trial will be launched amongst COVID-19 patients aged 65 and older with at least one of three pre-existing conditions (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity) to evaluate whether the use of a group of common blood pressure drugs called renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASi) may protect high-risk COVID-19 patients. Preliminary evidence indicates that these drugs can be protective in high-risk patients. However, the data looked backwards at past events, which can be fraught with hidden biases. A rigorous, forward-looking trial to evaluate these agents in COVID-19 is thus required. A network of Canadian and international research institutes will evaluate whether adding RASi drugs, compared to no added treatment in high-risk COVID-19 patients, can decrease the chance of dying or requiring ventilators or intensive care units. If results confirm its benefit, using these common and inexpensive medications will potentially save many lives around the world. The project was selected for funding through the COVID-19 May 2020 Rapid Research Funding Opportunity, coordinated by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in partnership with IDRC and several other health research funding agencies across Canada.

Effect of an eHealth intervent...ion on COVID-19 knowledge, behaviours, and mental wellness of LGBT+ people: #SafeHandsSafeHearts randomized trial
more
|
Marginalized populations aroun...d the world bear a disproportionate burden of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. This is particularly true for LGBT+ groups who already face elevated rates of physical and mental health challenges, as well as socio-structural barriers that limit the effectiveness and feasibility of recommended preventive measures such as physical distancing and handwashing. These health and social disparities greatly increase the vulnerability of LGBT+ people to COVID-19, and compound with other forms of marginalization such as race/ethnicity, gender, age, and HIV status, as well as unstable housing and employment, healthcare discrimination, and violence. There is an absence of coordinated and community-engaged responses to reduce the risk of COVID-19 for these groups. To address these challenges, this project will adapt, test, and disseminate a community-engaged eHealth intervention with diverse LGBT+ populations to reduce their risk of COVID-19 infection. The research team will test the intervention's effectiveness in increasing COVID-19 knowledge and protective behaviours, and in reducing psychological distress among LGBT+ people in Canada, India, and Thailand. The results of this project will reduce the risk of COVID-19 for LGBT+ people and will also better inform health system and public health responses to support engagement of LGBT+ and other marginalized populations in the pandemic response.The project was selected for funding through the COVID-19 May 2020 Rapid Research Funding Opportunity, coordinated by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in partnership with IDRC and several other health research funding agencies across Canada.

To address these challenges, this project will adapt, test, and disseminate a community-engaged eHealth intervention with diverse LGBT+ populations to reduce their risk of COVID-19 infection. The research team will test the intervention's effectiveness in increasing COVID-19 knowledge and protective behaviours, and in reducing psychological distress among LGBT+ people in Canada, India, and Thailand. The results of this project will reduce the risk of COVID-19 for LGBT+ people and will also better inform health system and public health responses to support engagement of LGBT+ and other marginalized populations in the pandemic response.The project was selected for funding through the COVID-19 May 2020 Rapid Research Funding Opportunity, coordinated by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in partnership with IDRC and several other health research funding agencies across Canada.

Portable, low-cost hardware fo...r decentralized COVID-19 diagnostics for Canada, Colombia, and Ecuador
more
|
The unfolding COVID-19 pandemi...c highlights the critical need for a diverse diagnostics strategy. Reliance on a single, highly centralized diagnostic technology, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), has led to supply chain disruption and bottlenecks in testing access. As attention is turning to the tools needed to relaunch economies, two capabilities have been identified as key: decentralized diagnostic testing for COVID-19 and serological testing to screen population antibody levels. This project aims to develop, validate, and implement the molecular tools and hardware required to support the decentralized, high-capacity diagnostic and serological testing to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, Colombia, and Ecuador. The team proposes adapting a previously designed portable plate reader to deploy two key diagnostic modalities: a rapid (15 minute) molecular COVID-19 virologic test and serological testing of antibodies. Implementation and testing of this decentralized diagnostic capacity will be performed at small businesses in Canada, and with hospital workers and remote populations in Colombia and Ecuador. Together these tests will prevent a resurgence of infections as communities begin to reduce lockdown restrictions. It will also determine the prevalence of antibody levels in the population, which may help to promote strategic use of future vaccine stocks.The project was selected for funding through the COVID-19 May 2020 Rapid Research Funding Opportunity, coordinated by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in partnership with IDRC and several other health research funding agencies across Canada.

Using artificial intelligence ...to inform public health responses to COVID-19 in Colombia
more
|
The COVID-19 pandemic is havin...g devastating effects in Colombia, which has experienced over 666,000 observed cases and 21,000 deaths as of early September 2020. The COVID-19 crisis is being called a data-driven pandemic because massive amounts of information and data are being released and shared at an unprecedented scale. Globally, artificial intelligence (AI) and data science research is showing promise for early COVID detection, timely communications with the public, new diagnostic tools, and informed policy and public health responses that can be automated, implemented, and scaled affordably. This project is a five-pronged interdisciplinary research endeavour, based on AI methods and data science, aimed at developing, implementing, and communicating evidence for COVID-19-related challenges, responses, and recovery in Colombia. The aim is to develop long-term, real-time, gender-specific, and locally relevant mathematical models that will shed light on the possible impact, trajectories, geographical spread, and uncertainties of disease progression, in addition to risk assessment based on socio-demographic, behavioural, and medical history variables. The project will also focus on estimating the effect of COVID-19 on other diseases, particularly on disease incidence, the resurgence of other infectious diseases, changes in chronic disease frequency and severity, gender disparities, and mental health. The project also intends to analyze popular social networks to identify health-related trending interest for vulnerable groups or populations, common reactions to policies and events of social importance, and critical users that act as super spreaders for information and misinformation. Finally, the research aims to design communication strategies to confront mis- and dis-information around COVID-19 that are tailored to different groups according to age, gender and regional and socioeconomic characteristics. This work will be carried out as part of the COVID-19 Global South Artificial Intelligence and Data Innovation Program, funded by IDRC and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency.

COVID-19 Africa Rapid Grant Fu...nd
more
|
The COVID-19 pandemic presents... a significant challenge that requires a global response informed by evidence. On the African continent, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and the African Union are leading a continental response to COVID-19. At the national level, African governments have launched efforts to promote prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Public funding agencies and science granting councils are complementing these continental and national efforts by supporting research and research-related activities.This project supports the COVID-19 Africa Rapid Grant Fund, which will support research and science engagement projects across seventeen countries through a competitive, peer-reviewed call for research. The funding opportunity invites African researchers, science communicators, and science advisers to submit proposals on the following topics: the COVID-19 virus in Africa, prevention and control, African health governance systems, socio-cultural dynamics of transmission, science engagement, the impact of COVID-19 on individual and community mental health, and vulnerability. The Fund will support up to ninety projects over a 24-month period with the goal of strengthening the evidence base for mitigating the impact of COVID-19 and future pandemics. Moreover, the Fund will strengthen national and regional capacity to collaborate and respond to future shared challenges. The Africa Rapid Grant Fund was jointly established by IDRC, South Africa's National Research Foundation and its Department of Science and Innovation, the United Kingdom's Department for International Development and UK Research and Innovation through the Newton Fund, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, and the Fonds de recherche du Québec. The fifteen African agencies involved in the Science Granting Councils Initiative in sub-Saharan Africa are providing additional support.

RECTIFYING THE EFFECTS OF COVI...D-19 ON VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN WEST AFRICA: A RESEARCH-ACTION (RECOVER)

Rectifying the effects of COVI...D-19 on vulnerable populations in West Africa: a research-action (RECOVER)
more
|
The full impact of COVID-19 on... West Africa's vulnerable populations is not well understood. Beyond the effects on immediate health status, rising rates of sexual and gender-based violence and teenage pregnancy point to a significant negative impact as a direct consequence of the pandemic. Uncoordinated responses may unintentionally worsen these and other effects. This project supports the development of innovative strategies that will overcome this patchy knowledge of COVID-19's impact and address the fragmentation in policy responses to directly and coherently address the priority needs of vulnerable communities. Initially, researchers will undertake a rapid assessment of both the preliminary effects of COVID-19 and policy responses and strategies across the region to inform immediate, short-term policy and programmatic responses. The second stage will develop detailed case studies to expose specific COVID-19 impacts on vulnerable populations and a responsive policy framework and multisectoral approach to address these impacts for the post-COVID-19 era. Applying action-research methodologies, the project will collaborate with communities, policymakers, and implementers to jointly analyze the results and develop responses. This project aims to support West African countries to prepare for future pandemic outbreaks and minimize impact on vulnerable populations. It will strengthen collaboration and learning across seven Francophone and Anglophone research institutions and allow West Africans to develop relevant solutions to address their own specific regional challenges related to pandemics in both the short- and long-term.

An effective response to COVID...-19 requires a complex array of relevant evidence packaged in user-friendly forms to support decision-making about current and future responses. This project will map out existing evidence and its use in informing responses to COVID-19. It will identify sectoral evidence gaps (epidemiological, public health, health system, and health technology capacities, etc.), as well as intervention responses to emerging epidemics and pandemics. It will document, compare, and contrast experiences at national and subnational levels, with a focus on displaced and vulnerable populations across countries and sub-regional contexts. The project will be implemented in six countries in West and Central Africa: Benin, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Guinea, Nigeria, and Senegal. To cope with the fast-moving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the team is adopting a flexible study approach with iterative analysis over time. The deeper understanding generated by the project will support more detailed work and interventions that benefit displaced and other vulnerable populations. It will have an emphasis on integrating equity and gender considerations, with attention to information and experiences affecting vulnerable populations. The research team will engage with decision-makers to inform evolving decision-making and serve as a strong basis for building resilient health systems. The work will contribute to identifying areas for inclusion in sub-regional observatories and follow-up work in the West and Central Africa region for improved evidence-informed decision-making. The project will build collaborative learning within and across countries through discussions and policy dialogues with key stakeholders to inform appropriate multisectoral responses to COVID-19 and similar health emergencies.

The COVID-19 crisis has been c...alled a data-driven pandemic, with massive amounts of data being generated, collected, shared, and analyzed, and provided for public consumption. There are lessons from epidemics such as SARS-COV-1, H1N1, Zika, and Ebola that point to the need for reliable and timely data. Early steps were taken in these prior epidemics to leverage data from novel sources, including the private sector. In the current context, many data-enabled innovations have been developed to facilitate early detection, contact tracing, quarantine monitoring, and timely interactive public communication. Data-enabled innovations are being used to inform policy relating to isolation and economic lockdowns.While data is crucial, it is important to ensure appropriate safeguards when dealing with personal data originating either directly from citizens or through the private sector. For example, though there is great value in leveraging personal data held by mobile operators for tracking movement, the Global System for Mobile Communications (the mobile industry association), updated its privacy guidelines for the use of mobile network big data in the context of COVID-19 to protect communication rights.This project aims to enable multidisciplinary research to deepen our understanding of how to develop and scale responsible (inclusive, rights-based, ethical, and sustainable), evidence-based artificial intelligence and data science approaches that support response and recovery to COVID-19 in low- and middle-income countries. A technical resource hub will facilitate synergies between projects of the COVID-AI program, synthesize research findings, and facilitate engagement between the COVID-AI program and national and regional policymakers.

The unfolding COVID-19 pandemi...c highlights the critical need for a diverse diagnostics strategy. Reliance on a single, highly centralized diagnostic technology, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), has led to supply chain disruption and bottlenecks in testing access. As attention is turning to the tools needed to relaunch economies, two capabilities have been identified as key: decentralized diagnostic testing for COVID-19 and serological testing to screen population antibody levels. This project aims to develop, validate, and implement the molecular tools and hardware required to support the decentralized, high-capacity diagnostic and serological testing to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, Colombia, and Ecuador. The team proposes adapting a previously designed portable plate reader to deploy two key diagnostic modalities: a rapid (15 minute) molecular COVID-19 virologic test and serological testing of antibodies. Implementation and testing of this decentralized diagnostic capacity will be performed at small businesses in Canada, and with hospital workers and remote populations in Colombia and Ecuador. Together these tests will prevent a resurgence of infections as communities begin to reduce lockdown restrictions. It will also determine the prevalence of antibody levels in the population, which may help to promote strategic use of future vaccine stocks.The project was selected for funding through the COVID-19 May 2020 Rapid Research Funding Opportunity, coordinated by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in partnership with IDRC and several other health research funding agencies across Canada.

This project is part of an ini...tiative that will provide evidence and strengthen capacity for bridging the knowledge gap in responding to the growing COVID-19 health crisis both in the short term and in the longer term. The initiative will support research on building resilience and preparedness to serve the needs of refugees and other populations on the move by promoting intersectoral approaches, including building bridges between humanitarian and development responses to reduce and control health risks for displaced populations. It will leverage existing local opportunities to strengthen the overall initiative. This project will generate evidence on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on refugees and internally displaced people in the West Bank and the health system's ability to meet their needs. It will also strengthen the health system through incorporating research and health information system improvements. Activities will include initial rapid situation assessments and community engagement to analyze the pandemic response and engage with institutional and policy stakeholders. This will be followed by larger scale quantitative and qualitative research activities. Finally, the research will be presented in an accessible format for policymakers and practitioners to inform long-term health system preparedness and resilience. The project will also support capacity building for research in health system preparedness with regards to human resources, information systems, and community engagement. This will lead to enhanced knowledge production, both for short-term rapid response to COVID-19, and for a long-term participatory approach to pandemic preparedness and resilience from a gender and equity perspective for refugee and internally displaced populations.

The COVID-19 pandemic presents... a significant challenge that requires a global response informed by evidence. On the African continent, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and the African Union are leading a continental response to COVID-19. At the national level, African governments have launched efforts to promote prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Public funding agencies and science granting councils are complementing these continental and national efforts by supporting research and research-related activities.This project supports the COVID-19 Africa Rapid Grant Fund, which will support research and science engagement projects across seventeen countries through a competitive, peer-reviewed call for research. The funding opportunity invites African researchers, science communicators, and science advisers to submit proposals on the following topics: the COVID-19 virus in Africa, prevention and control, African health governance systems, socio-cultural dynamics of transmission, science engagement, the impact of COVID-19 on individual and community mental health, and vulnerability. The Fund will support up to ninety projects over a 24-month period with the goal of strengthening the evidence base for mitigating the impact of COVID-19 and future pandemics. Moreover, the Fund will strengthen national and regional capacity to collaborate and respond to future shared challenges. The Africa Rapid Grant Fund was jointly established by IDRC, South Africa's National Research Foundation and its Department of Science and Innovation, the United Kingdom's Department for International Development and UK Research and Innovation through the Newton Fund, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, and the Fonds de recherche du Québec. The fifteen African agencies involved in the Science Granting Councils Initiative in sub-Saharan Africa are providing additional support.

Rectifying the effects of COVI...D-19 on vulnerable populations in West Africa: a research-action (RECOVER)
more
|
The full impact of COVID-19 on... West Africa's vulnerable populations is not well understood. Beyond the effects on immediate health status, rising rates of sexual and gender-based violence and teenage pregnancy point to a significant negative impact as a direct consequence of the pandemic. Uncoordinated responses may unintentionally worsen these and other effects. This project supports the development of innovative strategies that will overcome this patchy knowledge of COVID-19's impact and address the fragmentation in policy responses to directly and coherently address the priority needs of vulnerable communities. Initially, researchers will undertake a rapid assessment of both the preliminary effects of COVID-19 and policy responses and strategies across the region to inform immediate, short-term policy and programmatic responses. The second stage will develop detailed case studies to expose specific COVID-19 impacts on vulnerable populations and a responsive policy framework and multisectoral approach to address these impacts for the post-COVID-19 era. Applying action-research methodologies, the project will collaborate with communities, policymakers, and implementers to jointly analyze the results and develop responses. This project aims to support West African countries to prepare for future pandemic outbreaks and minimize impact on vulnerable populations. It will strengthen collaboration and learning across seven Francophone and Anglophone research institutions and allow West Africans to develop relevant solutions to address their own specific regional challenges related to pandemics in both the short- and long-term.
