The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged a multitude of actors and sectors to carry out collective action to solve the dramatic global health crisis, reviving a recurring problem in the history of humanity: the coordination of actions, or the lack of it. Science has not been the exception: the unbridled competition of countries and pharmaceutical companies to generate vaccines and treatments reveals that, far from being resolved, research coordination continues to be an ongoing issue. This article aims at making a critical review of the attempts to coordinate Science of the last 40 years, with particular interest in federal countries, more prone to dispersion, duplication and gaps. A bibliographic review made possible to revisit coordination policies and instruments and culminates in a proposal to study the policy networks in Science, in search of a more granular analysis of the actors in the research ecosystem.
