The international research team will immediately implement the process to help inform policy decisions for the COVID-19 outbreak. Professor David Pannell from LITΓÇÖs Centre for Environmental Economics and Policy joined a team of six modellers and epidemiologists from the United States, the United Kingdom and China to design a process that could support policymakers worldwide. The process has been published in Science and was awarded a Grant for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) from the National Science Foundation in the US to deliver the approach. During a disease outbreak, many research groups independently generate models to help inform public health policy for managing the outbreak. These models
