COVID-19 Response & Recovery Transport Research Fund

As part of the UK Department for International Development’s (DFID) response to COVID-19, the Research for Community Access Partnership (ReCAP) and the Applied Research Programme in High Volume Transport (HVT) have established a COVID-19 Response & Recovery Transport Research Fund. This fund seeks to support research that addresses COVID-19 and its effects and impacts on the transport sector. The fund will support research that provides: • innovation and technology that can help manage immediate response and guide recovery • evidence based thinking (thought pieces) and papers that guide response and/or recovery and policy in a changed transport world • fast-tracking of knowledge, experience, learning resources and best practice to those who need it in LICs.
