Collaboratory COVID-19 Research Projects
The North Carolina Policy Collaboratory (Collaboratory) is supporting COVID-19 research projects that are intended to provide new data and information to state lawmakers and policy-makers to help guide the state’s response.In early May 2020 the North Carolina General Assembly (NCGA) appropriated $29 million to the NC Policy Collaboratory to support research on treatment, community testing and prevention of COVID-19 (as mandated by the NCGA in subdivision (23) of Section 3.3 of Session Law 2020-4; effective May 4, 2020). The Collaboratory will be required to provide an update to the NCGA in September 2020 about the status of its research projects.
The Collaboratory worked closely with the leadership at universities across the UNC system and at UNC-Chapel Hill to develop the research plan and award funding for projects. Final funding decisions were made in a thorough and transparent manner and involved input and guidance from numerous experts. In the development of the Collaboratory’s research plan to support and fund COVID-19 research, the project review process took place across three main categories outlined below.
