TDR has a range of partnerships that fall into the following categories:

Governments

We help bring research evidence to policy-makers so they can develop priorities and implement plans based on the latest findings.

  • Recent meeting with several governments on the elimination of visceral leishmaniasis (VL).

Product development partners

We have helped initiate several product development partnerships (PDPs) that bring together pharmaceutical companies, governments and funders to develop needed medicines and diagnostics.

  • Selected list of PDPs we work with

Research institutions and researchers

We support institutions and researchers, often linking them with each other so that together, they can build capacity and learn from each other.

  • Research strengthening partnerships

Knowledge brokers

We support open access to information and work with groups that collect and share data.

Long-term partnerships that have made a difference

  • TDR and China: 30 years of collaboration
    The collaboration between TDR and the Government of the People's Republic of China dates back to 1979. This video shows the impact toward the elimination of malaria and schistosomiasis.
  • Congenital syphilis on the way out
    In Haiti, the government, health centres and TDR have analyzed and distributed rapid diagnostic tests that can be done in remote areas without electricity, reducing dramatically the incidence of babies being born with syphilis.
