On the ground

The Global Health Technologies Coalition includes almost 40 nonprofit organizations working to raise the profile of research for new global health tools. GHTC members are involved in clinical trials in 34 countries in all regions of the world, marked here in green. Many of these trials are supported by US agencies—including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Department of Defense (DoD), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and US Agency for International Development (USAID). Several are conducted in the United States in locations including California, Illinois, Louisiana, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, and Washington state.

In countries worldwide, researchers are working to solve some of the most challenging problems in global health. In interviews here, eminent scientists talk about the promise research holds to improve HIV prevention, treatment, and care; help control epidemic diseases such as malaria; and find other solutions with the potential to improve health for millions around the world, including those in the United States.
