The National Institute for Health Research is calling upon under served communities to take part in a research project to help the NHS learn more about how Covid is affecting particular communities in the UK.
Medical research is playing a key role in bringing the COVID-19 pandemic under control.
The UK is delivering several pioneering research studies into COVID-19, including to develop treatments and vaccines.
The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) would like to encourage as many people as possible, from every part of the UK’s population to consider taking part in these studies and help the NHS find the solution.
There are a number of research projects taking place around the UK.

Community examples
To illustrate how people from different communities have been affected by the pandemic and to underline the importance of COVID-19 research, they have created seven short films to tell stories based on real patient experiences and conversations.
They hope watching them will inspire you to learn more about taking part in one of the research projects taking place.
