Advancing community-engaged social innovations
in health
Leveraging the TDR Global community for mentorship and collaboration
6 country hubs
of the Social Innovation in Health Initiative are
playing a leadership role in advancing social innovations
through research.
5 researchers and 10 mentors
were identified to pilot a TDR Global research
crowdfunding challenge.
An essential part of TDR’s work is to engage with the global
health community to promote and facilitate the role of research
for development and to advocate for the use of high-quality evidence to inform policy. TDR is at the interface between research and health-care delivery. Embedded within the UN family through its co-sponsors (UNICEF, UNDP, the World Bank, and WHO), this unique position allows TDR to create a bridge from local communities to the World Health Assembly to enable the broadest possible scope of dialogue and debate across the spectrum
of health research – from priority setting to evidence-based
policy-making at local, national, regional and global levels.
