Welcome to the G-FINDER survey
The G-FINDER survey tracks annual investment into R&D for new products and technologies to address priority global health challenges. This includes basic research and the development of new drugs, vaccines, diagnostics and other tools for global health priorities that disproportionately affect people in low- and middle-income countries, including neglected diseases (NDs), emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) issues.
As part of the ongoing evolution and improvement of the G-FINDER project, we have made the following changes to the survey scope:
- The SRH scope has been broadened to include seven additional conditions: [1] abortion, [2] endometriosis, [3] maternal iron deficiency anaemia, [4] menopause, [5] polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), [6] preterm labour, and [7] uterine fibroids.
- Biologics for post-partum haemorrhage has been added to the SRH scope
- An entirely new product category, dietary supplements, has been introduced to the SRH scope for post-partum haemorrhage, pre-eclampsia & eclampsia, maternal iron deficiency anaemia and preterm labour
- Please see the SRH scope document for comprehensive details about these updates.
Data Tags. The ‘Tag’ feature enriches project details by allowing the addition of one or more tags, for example “paediatric formulation”, “ODA funding” and “antimicrobial resistance”. Choose from our pre-defined options or add customised tags.
Including clinical trial numbers or product names as tags in the format “Clinical trial number: NCT123456” or “Product name: paracetamol” is helpful. Using this format, including the colon, helps us process your data.
While optional, adding relevant tags helps us to better understand how your work fits into the global health landscape. You can add unlimited tags to each project.
The G-FINDER project has been funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation since 2007. Open Philanthropy also supports the project via core funding to Policy Cures Research. For more information, please refer to the frequently asked questions.
