The Asian Development Bank (ADB)’s work in the health sector supports health infrastructure and systems, as well as governance and financing. In 2013, ADB set up the Regional Malaria and Other Communicable Disease Threats Trust Fund (RMTF) to support developing countries in the region in developing multi-country and multisector responses to malaria and other communicable disease issues.

Within the US Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) invests in advanced research and development, acquisition, and manufacturing of medical countermeasures needed to combat health security threats – including vaccines, drugs, therapeutics, diagnostic tools, and non-pharmaceutical products. BARDA’s active areas of interest (AOIs) include antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and influenza and emerging infectious diseases (IEID).

What type of funding are you looking for?

  • Grant:
    Grants are direct financial contributions from the European Union budget awarded by way of a donation to third-party beneficiaries (usually non-profit-making organisations) engaged in activities that serve EU policies.
  • Loan:
    Loans are measures of financial support provided on a complementary basis from the budget in order to address specific policy objectives of the European Union. Such instruments are implemented in partnership with public and private institutions such as banks, venture capitalists or angel investors.

What stage of development are you seeking R&I funding for?

  • Basic science: Basic science covers the various exploratory steps even prior to discovery
  • Discovery: Drug discovery aims to find potential disease-altering targets, such as a gene or a protein in humans. Prior to testing candidate compounds for safety
  • Preclinical development: Preclinical development concerns the testing of candidate compounds for safety in specific indications or disease conditions. Introduction of candidate compound in living biological systems (animals)
  • Phase 1 clinical trials: These are the first clinical trials on humans(usually 20-80 volunteers) testing the safety, side effects, best dose, and timing of a new treatment
  • Phase 21/2b clinical trials: This is the follow-up trial with roughly 100 to 500 patients to analyse efficacy and safety
  • Phase 3 clinical trials: These trials usually involve several hundreds to many thousands patients and tests the results of earlier clinical trials on larger populations to generate robust data on safety, efficacy and benefit-risk relationships of the medicine. Comparison to placebo and/or active comparator (best standard treatment)
  • Registration & launch: This concerns post-study, prior to launch, activities related to market launch. That can include, among others, marketing authorisation, regulatory activities, post-study communication or HTA
  • Introduction & delivery: This concerns all post-launch activities
