<b>Living mapping review of global research funding for high-risk pathogens - Pandemic PACT Grant Tracker</b>
Listed in NCL Data
<p dir="ltr">The COVID-19 pandemic spurred an unprecedented global research response, highlighting the need for better coordination amid limited resources and the ongoing threat of emerging diseases.
Description
The Pandemic PACT Programme has developed a live database tracking funded research on high-risk pathogens and broader preparedness efforts to facilitate improved pandemic preparedness. This paper presents the first analysis update of this dataset, examining trends in research funding identified by the Pandemic PACT programme by disease, geography and research topic, and identifying which funders are supporting high-risk pathogen research, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

As of December 6, 2025, the database includes 28,176 awards from 330 funding organisations spread across 60 different countries, representing at least $25.9 billion in financial commitments. We conducted a living mapping review to provide an open, accessible analysis of the funded research portfolio on high-risk infectious diseases. The review analyses funding trends from 2020 to 2025 across high-risk pathogens and research areas, identifying key investment priorities and potential gaps.
Results Analysis of the Pandemic PACT dataset reveals an uneven global research investment across high-risk infectious diseases.</p>
