Our work
Our specific impact goals are to:
- Increase access to health interventions in countries with high burdens of infectious diseases through the generation and use of high-quality research.
- Accelerate the development of innovative tools, solutions and implementation strategies essential for disease control and elimination through research and partnership.
- Build a critical mass of researchers in disease-affected countries who can conduct, lead and further develop research through training and mentorship.
- Engage a broad global community to facilitate the role of research for development, and advocate for the use of high quality evidence to inform policy.
