Novel coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a global threat to millions of lives. Enormous efforts in knowledge production have been made in the last few months, requiring a comprehensive analysis to examine the research gaps and to help guide an agenda for further studies. This study aims to explore the current research foci and their country variations regarding levels of income and COVID-19 transmission features. This textual analysis of 5780 publications extracted from the Web of Science, Medline, and Scopus databases was performed to explore the current research foci and propose further research agenda. The Latent Dirichlet allocation was used for topic modeling. Regression analysis was conducted to examine country variations in the research foci. Results indicate that publications are mainly contributed by the United States, China, and European countries. Guidelines for emergency care and surgical, viral pathogenesis, and global responses in the COVID-19 pandemic are the most common topics. There is variation in the research approaches to mitigate COVID-19 problems in countries with different income and transmission levels. Findings highlighted the need for global research collaborations among high- and low/middle-income countries in the different stages of pandemic prevention and control.

Abstract Background The Swiss School of Public Health's (SSPH+) Global PhD Programme in Public Health Sciences (GlobalP3HS) is a doctoral programme, promoting transnational education and mobility co-funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 801076. Students from abroad absolve a PhD training at one of the 12 SSPH+ partner universities in Switzerland. Objectives and Methods GlobalP3HS aims to train the next generation of public health leaders in both the academic and non-academic sector. Specific attention was given to PhD studies under the “sandwich model” (SM) which fosters research of students from low/middle income countries (LMIC) conducting LMIC-relevant PhD studies in collaboration with an LMIC-based academic institution. The SM targets at increasing chances for LMIC-based postdoctoral careers. The five year programme (October 2018 to September 2023) provides 42-months fellowships to profit from PhD programmes at a Swiss university. Top-scoring candidates were selected in a transparent, merit-based procedure by an international jury, considering students' background and motivation; innovation; methodological quality; public health relevance; and feasibility of the proposed research. Results Out of 342 valid applications, the jury scored 147 as eligible (score 8-10). In total, 53 students (31 women) were successful in matching up with co-funding supervisors. PhD-students from 31 countries representing all global regions, including 21 PhD under the SM, are enrolled at seven Swiss SSPH+ partner universities. Conclusions GlobalP3HS is an innovative solution to strengthen global research collaborations. The SM abates “brain drain” as it clears the path for successful careers in LMICs, where graduates become change makers capitalising on solid academic collaborations with the SSPH+ network. Key messages GlobalP3HS trains PhD fellows in public health sciences to become change-making leaders in academic institutions and public health organisations. GlobalP3HS is an initiative from the Swiss School of Public Health strengthening equitable, fair, balanced, and innovative inter-university and global partnerships.

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has created urgent demand around the world for knowledge generation about a novel coronavirus, its transmission, and control, putting academic institutions at the frontline of politics. While many academic institutions are well poised to conduct research, there are well-documented barriers for these institutions, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), to further conduct strategic synthesis and dissemination to promote knowledge utilization among policy-makers. These systemic barriers to knowledge translation (KT) pose significant challenges for academic institutions seeking to take advantage of unprecedented policy windows to inform evidence-based decision-making. Global health funding organizations should prioritize the support of academic institutions’ activities along the KT pathway, including both knowledge generation and strategic dissemination, to improve knowledge uptake for decision-making to improve health. Institutional capacity-building initiatives for KT have the potential to profoundly impact responses to this and future pandemics.

Abstract Introduction: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has significantly challenged the access to cancer care and follow-up for a patient with cancer. Methods: Based on published literature and our experiences, it is reasonable to presume that clinical examination and follow-up visits have been significantly curtailed worldwide in order to adhere to the new norms during the pandemic. Although telephonic and telemedicine consultations may help bridge a few gaps, completely dispensing with in-person consultation has its challenges, especially in low middle-income countries. Telephonic consultations could facilitate triaging of ambulatory cancer patients and allocation of face-to-face consultations for high priority patients. Conclusions: We propose a telephonic consultation-based triaging approach for ambulatory cancer patients in order to identify those needing in-hospital consultations.
