Renewing US leadership: Policies to advance global health research
The fourth annual policy report from the GHTC offers actionable recommendations that Congress and the administration can implement to strengthen the US legacy in global health R&D and, more importantly, save lives around the world. These recommendations are especially timely, given that the US government is facing contentious budget negotiations that will have critical implications for its wide range of R&D activities that stretch across numerous federal agencies, departments, and branches.

Saving lives and creating impact: Why investing in global health research works
The US Government has long played a role in the development of new global health products that have transformed communities in the poorest countries in the world and saved the lives of millions. However, with increasing political pressure to scale back US Government investment in global health research and development (R&D), a review of evidence on the benefits of global health R&D investments and the cost-effectiveness of US Government funding is critical.
This report aims to assess the impact of past US Government investments in global health R&D and to review the role of ongoing US Government investments in global health R&D.
