This chapter provides an introduction and presentation of the Research Initiatives Working Group advancing multidimensional COVID-19-related scholarship from a global international perspective. The chapter begins by outlining the mission statement of the group devoted to compiling a collection of the currently available knowledge base on the psychological impact of COVID-19 from a multidisciplinary and international perspective. The goal is to inform students, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, stakeholders, professionals, and relevant scholarship on the multidimensional impact of COVID-19-and related psychological treatment, prevention, and intervention resources. To this end, RIWG advances the knowledge base through a repository and dissemination of newly published materials and resources such as peer-reviewed articles, reports, calls for papers, funding opportunities, conferences, webinars, symposia, as well as a COVID-19 research map with scholars conducting relevant work in international, multidisciplinary, and global settings. Noteworthy contribution of this chapter regards the main products, deliverables, and current projects of the group in terms of advancement of the theoretical and empirical knowledge base on COVID-19 in global contexts; refinement of methodological issues and measurement; and integration of relevant scholarship with research, policy, and practice. Prominent products see the creation of a COVID-19 research map around the globe and an international project on the multidimensional impact, experience, and perceptions of COVID-19 among young people worldwide. The ultimate goal is to document relevant accomplishments in global research fields while providing creative and promising venues about where future prospects would be most fruitfully implemented.
