The Alliance for Advancing Health Online is bringing collaborators from the technology, health, global development, and academic sectors together to advance public understanding of how social media can best be utilized to better understand and increase the health and resiliency of communities around the world. The Alliance launched its first program of research in June 2021- the Vaccine Confidence Fund (“the Fund”), which funded 33 research projects.
To respond to the quickly evolving landscape, persistent unmet needs, insights and lessons learned via the first round of research, the Alliance is now launching a second round of funding to explore how social media can be leveraged to increase vaccination confidence and uptake for COVID-19 and routine immunizations. The Fund is managed by Global Impact and financially supported by Meta Platforms, Inc. (“Meta”) and Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA (known as MSD outside the United States and Canada) (“MSD”). Meta and MSD will not participate in the selection of fund recipients.
