Leveraging the knowledge gained from the COVID-19 pandemic and advancing robust evidence is more critical than ever to strengthen respiratory pandemic preparedness following the end of the COVID-19 a public health emergency of international concern. For public health and social measures (PHSM) – interventions to reduce the risk and scale of infectious disease transmission– coordinated research efforts are vital in better understanding their effectiveness and impact during the COVID-19 pandemic but also in accelerating their applicability to diverse respiratory pathogens.  In this article, we share key findings from the first global survey on COVID-19 related research priorities for PHSM and how we plan to expand the agenda with a medium- to long-term scope.
