TDR
Strategy 2000-2005 document
Major
Strategic Directions
·
Greater
interaction with disease control - new focus on implementation
research
TDR will act as a bridge between research potential and the
realities of implementing country level control programmes, and
make a determined effort to work in the overlapping area between
research and control in order to get its 'products' (tools,
knowledge or skills) into policy and practice more quickly.
Implementation research represents a major new thrust of TDR's
work.
·
Maximizing
the potential of new science and technology opportunities
TDR will fully explore the new opportunities provided by advances
in science and technology - such as genomics, bioinformatics and
high-throughput screening - which open new ways for accelerated
discovery of new drugs, vaccines and diagnostics, as well as new
perspectives for vector control.
·
Promoting
public-private partnerships
TDR
aims to strengthen and promote interactions with the private
sector.
·
Renewed
emphasis on social, economic and behavioural research
Social, economic and behavioural research aims to increase
understanding of how social, behavioural, political, economic and
health system factors operate to affect disease patterns and
disease control efforts.
·
Greater
involvement of researchers and institutions from disease-endemic
countries
TDR will aim to achieve a greater involvement of researchers and
institutions from disease-endemic countries in all areas of
research and development, and place high emphasis on capacity
strengthening based on selected research activities .
·
Intensive
use of new information and communications technologies
To reach target audiences worldwide, TDR will strengthen its
communications capacity using the latest and most appropriate
technology, whilst supporting researchers from least developed
countries to keep up with the pace of the information technology
revolution.
