Summary:Within two months, the World Health Organization (WHO)Advisory Committee on Medical Research met and discussed the need to "coordinate and stimulate biomedical research through bilateral and multinational arrangements," and to apply "advances in knowledge in basic biology to urgent medical and public health problems." TDR principles: * Research carried out in the countries where the diseases occur and by scientists from those countries. * Long-term commitment to strengthening research capacity. * Partnership model--for identifying research priorities, setting up multidisciplinary projects, and managing these projects. * Organizational sponsorship and structure within the UN system, and a governance model that provides equitable input from low-, middle-, and high-income countries. * Continual assessment of progress and flexibility in changing the strategy and priorities.
