Summary
In April 2020, the NSW Government dedicated an additional $25 million into research to support the NSW COVID-19 response and recovery. As a result, the NSW Health COVID-19 Research Program was established to contribute knowledge to minimise the health and social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in NSW.
This report provides an update on progress
and examines preliminary outcomes of the Program as of 31 January 2021 (approximately nine months after Program initiation).
A Final Impact Evaluation Report will be developed at the conclusion of the COVID-19 Round 2 Research Grants. The Final Report will include analysis of additional contributions the Program has made to the COVID-19 response and recovery, with a focus on impacts across multiple domains and value for money that have emerged since February 2021.
