Supporting humanitarian response during COVID-19 with research - gap mapping and priorities (DSAI Humanitarian Action Study Group)

DSAI's Humanitarian Action Study Group (HASG) would like to collect information from across researchers and humanitarian practitioners to help identify key gaps in evidence, applying learning and public/global health research in the humanitarian response to and during the COVID-19 crisis. The aim is to identify priority areas for evidence and research that can be leveraged to support an effective, coordinated response.

Participation is voluntary and survey responses are anonymous. The results will be analysed by the HASG Convenor and will be used to inform future DSAI public events on effective leveraging of evidence and research for humanitarian response, and a publicly available briefing document that aims to identify preliminary priorities for research and learning in the sector.
