TDR Strategy 2024-2029

An unrelenting series of public health emergencies in recent years has highlighted the critical role of implementation research in informing health policy and practice. But evidence is not only fundamental to emergency response efforts. Building capacity for health research strengthens the resilience of health systems as a whole, so they can serve all people all the time. 

For almost 50 years, TDR has been a leader in research to address infectious diseases of poverty and in building the capacity of people, communities, and institutions in low- and middle-income countries. TDR supports evidence generation in disease-affected countries to foster innovations that improve health.
