WELCOME TO G-FINDER
G-FINDER tracks public, private, and philanthropic funding of basic research and product development (R&D) for global health priorities.
The core focus of the project is neglected disease (ND) R&D funding. NDs are diseases that predominantly affect low- and middle-income countries and for which products are needed, but there is insufficient commercial incentive to stimulate R&D.
The survey also collects data about R&D funding for emerging infectious diseases (EIDs). The list of diseases included in the survey is based on the priority pathogens identified in the WHO R&D Blueprint.
This year, we are also inviting participants to provide data on their R&D funding for sexual and reproductive health (SRH) issues. The SRH issues included in the survey were identified as high priority areas by a group of international experts. The SRH survey is separate to the ND/EID survey, but accessible on the same platform.
Please provide data for both the ND/EID and the SRH surveys, if applicable.
G-FINDER reports
The neglected disease survey results are published and launched as yearly G-FINDER reports (see below). Data collected for other global health priorities will be reported separately:
- the EID survey results (analysing 2014-2017 funding data) will be published in June 2019, coinciding with the Global Health Security Conference in Sydney. We hope to publish EID funding data collected for 2018 at a later stage
- the SRH survey results (analysing 2018 funding data) will be published in early 2020.
