As the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in the United States and the state of Indiana in spring 2020, IU faculty, staff, and students responded with bold and creative efforts to address not only the public health and scientific aspects of COVID-19, but also its broader social, economic, legal, technological, and cultural facets.
Among the many projects initiated, more than two dozen were supported by rapid, strategic funding provided through IU's Office of the Vice President for Research. The researchers involved in all of this important and timely work have helped to detect, understand, and manage the novel coronavirus, and their tireless endeavors may one day help to eradicate it altogether.
