COVID-19 Update May 12, 2020

 

This week's COVID-19 Update focuses on grants, competitions ,and funding for COVID-19 research, relief, and response. To the best of our knowledge, the grants are open as of May 11th. However, sponsors may close applications for a variety of causes such as too many applications to consider or funding limits have been reached. We have relied on publicly available sources for this list, and to the extent possible, checked the announcement on the funders' websites. Please be sure to review the application requirements carefully, as the details in the public sources and announcements may differ from the funding application itself.

 

If you have products or services for COVID-19 response, planning, and management, please be sure to contact us. The World Trade Centers Association is maintaining a global list of suppliers. For more information, please go to our COVID-19 Resources web page or contact us by email at [email protected].
