The EPPI Centre is a lead partner in the International Public Policy Observatory (IPPO) (https://covidandsociety.com), an ESRC-funded project that aims to mobilise research evidence to help address the social impacts of COVID-19.

Our main work involves producing systematic reviews and other evidence syntheses of social sciences research evidence on COVID-19, including to date:
 

• A living map of systematic reviews of social sciences research evidence on COVID-19
   

• A systematic review on online learning in secondary schools
   

• A systematic review on COVID-19 and population mental health
   

• A scoping review and systematic review on COVID-19 and social capital
   

• A living map and rapid evidence review on COVID-19 misinformation

Rapid evidence reviews on mitigating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of closure of educational facilities on:
 

• Primary and secondary schools (for DfE)
   

• Further education (for DfE)
   

• Higher education (for DfE)
   

• Parents and carers (for DfE)

Rapid evidence reviews on:
 

• Basic income experiments in OECD countries
   

• NHS staff wellbeing: Why investing in organisational and management practices makes business sense
   

• Volunteering during the pandemic: Which mechanisms enabled groups, communities and agencies to mobilise and why?
