The Community Jameel Imperial College COVID-19 Excellence Fund was co-created by Community Jameel and Imperial College London in 2020 to award funding of up to GBP 200,000 for high-impact projects into prevention, diagnosis, treatment and understanding of COVID-19.
From exploring the potential role of COVID-19 in triggering neurological disease to identifying drugs that could be repurposed to treat COVID-19, the fund accelerated research at Imperial on the frontline of the global response to the pandemic.
