Global Observatory on Health R&D

The Global Observatory on Health R&D is a comprehensive source of information and analyses on global health R&D for human diseases. It builds on existing data/reports from a range of sources, and gathers new information to help monitor health R&D and decision-making related to:

• health R&D gaps
• priorities for new investments in health R&D
• capacity strengthening needs for health R&D.

The Observatory continues to use unexploited data sources and information to enhance knowledge and information sharing. It does so by using a coherent approach for tracking and analyzing health R&D across all health categories and across the whole R&D space.
