You can see the geographical distribution of the funding organisations on the map below. Circle size correlates with the number of funders based within a selected country. Funders that could not be assigned a geographical location, which accounts for 23 funding organisations, are not represented on the map. This includes international and intergovernmental organisations. </span></p> <div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TkAitZWj3e8/YZpyzsLk8qI/AAAAAAAAN6M/2LfInpc4NmkuaH-h82zfYvTVOtyrWssEACLcBGAsYHQ/s842/image1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" border="0" data-original-height="464" data-original-width="842" height="321" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TkAitZWj3e8/YZpyzsLk8qI/AAAAAAAAN6M/2LfInpc4NmkuaH-h82zfYvTVOtyrWssEACLcBGAsYHQ/w583-h321/image1.png" width="583" /></a></div> <p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> <p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt;">The data shows that ~2% of all COVID-19 grants (168 of 8839 total) are jointly supported by two or more funder</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt;">.</span></span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ltogether COVID-19 grant awards amount to at least $</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">3.9 billion (monetary value is not available </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">for 2500 (28%) of the COVID-19 grant records)</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Note that grants have been awarded in 20 different currencies which we have converted to USD for this calculation. The mean average COVID-19 grant award value is ~$615,000, which is still nearly a third lower than the average value of grants awarded by Europe PMC funders (~$</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">845,000</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">).

Looking at grants that have both start and end dates available, the average COVID-19 grant has a duration of 30 months, compared to 40 months for regular Europe PMC funding calls, representing a similar annual value (~$235,000 for COVID-19 grants and ~$247,000 for non-COVID-19). Another explanation may be that the most common discipline in the COVID-19 tracker is social sciences, where research costs are typically lower than in the medical sciences</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #292929; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">T</span>hese are just some examples of what we can infer from the funding information available in Europe PMC.
