Abstract
On 31 December 2019, the World Health Organization was informed of a viral pneumonia that was 10 days later identified as a novel coronavirus. An unprecedented pandemic ensued and tackling the virus and managing its repercussions has since been a priority for researchers and policy makers worldwide. The virus has taken lives, jobs and homes have been lost, and ways of life have been completely upended. The virus has created challenges and caused destruction and with a view to aiding recovery, the United Nations (UN) has published its Framework for the Immediate Socio-Economic Response to COVID-19. This includes the UN Research Roadmap for the COVID-19 Recovery, which highlights how countries across the globe can work together to develop strategies informed by science and evidence. In response to the complexity of COVID-19, the roadmap comprises several interrelated strands, including a focus on science strategies to merge and unite research and information. The roadmap has identified five scientific strategies to ensure science can be effectively applied to key challenges. These are: data infrastructure, implementation science, rapid learning systems, knowledge mobilisation and science of science.
