The Global Health Case Study Initiative
Millions of lives can be improved — or saved — by sharing the knowledge, resources and technology of the developed world with those who need it most. For myriad reasons, advances in health care and prevention often fall short of providing a benefit to the developing world.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, World Health Organization's Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR), Global Health Progress (GHP), International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) and Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) have joined together to Form the Global Health Case Study Initiative. This groundbreaking project seeks to create efficiencies by collecting case studies that would provide others with information on current practices and insight on "lessons learned" (both positive and negative) in the course of conducting activities relating to global health matters.
The case studies will highlight collaborations that are built and/or transactions that are entered into which address a global health concern. Global health concern refers to those diseases that have a disproportionate impact on developing countries, but need not be the sole focus of the collaboration or transaction. The intended audience for this initiative includes organizations and individuals who are currently involved or are interested in helping to fulfill global health objectives.
Stakeholders are encouraged to submit an idea for a case study. Examples of stakeholders include private funders, international and multilateral organizations, universities and non-profit research centers, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, public private partnerships, non-governmental organizations, and governments.
