SPECIAL REPORT: COVID-19 “ Our faculty and their research are defined by extraordinary resilience, creativity, and generosity. I always knew these were characteristics of Brown, but to witness their impact in the context of this pandemic is amazing.”
Bring in the Sc ientists
—Vice President for Research Jill Pipher
Dozens of Brown faculty launched COVID-19 research in the weeks and months after the pandemic started, attracting internal and external funding for projects stretching from biology and medicine to public health, engineering, computer science, economics, and more. While the recently started research is in its early stages, Brown’s COVID projects have already generated hundreds of published papers in respected journals, multiplied initial funding through additional sources, and grown through new collaborations within Brown and externally.
