People around the world in hospitals, academia, social care, and industry are all working together on COVID-19 research, whether that’s in diagnostics, treatments or vaccines.

This Friday 3 April we are going Red 4 Research. This is a national and international call supported by NHS RD Forum and the HRA, where we’ll be raising awareness of - and show our appreciation for – all our staff and our research participants. This is an opportunity to take pride in the work we’ve done to combat the novel coronavirus in these challenging circumstances and stand united with other research teams across the country and around the globe.

You can join in by:

- Wearing red

- Using the #Red4Research sign and writing a supportive message, or making your own banner

- Taking a photo of yourself holding the sign and posting it on Twitter using the hashtag #Red4Research and copying in @Research2Note @LeicResearch @Leic_hospital and @LeicesterBRC
