COVID-19 Projects Mapping

A small collection of general descriptions of ongoing social science research on COVID-19 is presented below to assist in facilitating exchanges across projects, identify research gaps and avoid duplication. These project descriptions were gathered via our project submission form supplemented by a small scale and temporary online search.
