Supporting Ohio’s Pandemic Response
This portal has been developed in response to the evolving and emergent needs of Ohio communities related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
COVID Connect links Ohio organizations with faculty and subject matter experts in various fields from across Ohio’s universities and professional communities. The Center for Public Health Practice at the Ohio State College of Public Health will connect organizations with academic and practice professionals to provide assistance with data and information, support local communication activities and assist in the management of current and future needs faced by communities dealing with the pandemic.. Currently supported areas include:
- Data Sciences
- Public Health Sciences (e.g. assessment, epidemiology, evaluation)
- Engineering
- Social and Behavioral Sciences (e.g. addressing vulnerable populations)
- Communications
- Business operations and logistics
This list is a sample of the expertise available to organizations. If an area of need is not listed above a request can still be made. The database is updated frequently and all requests are monitored in an attempt to connect agencies and new volunteers as they are identified.
