The MI4 Emergency COVID-19 Research Funding (ECRF) opportunity is seeking bold and innovative proposals, spanning two broad areas of research:
- Biomedical studies focusing on the development of new therapeutic and preventive measures, and/or
- Social, legal, economic, psychological, policy or other non-biomedical studies focused on the impact of control measures or of the pandemic itself.

This opportunity provides one-time funding of up to $250,000 for 6-month projects that can provide immediate answers to questions relevant to the COVID-19 crisis. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and while funds remain available.
