This project addresses ways to finance under-funded but crucial global public goods for health, such as developing new medicines and vaccines for poverty-related and neglected diseases, and other global functions of donor aid for health. Our research examines (a) how much funding is needed to adequately support such global functions, (b) innovative mechanisms to help close the financing gap, and (c) the institutional arrangements that are needed to move these financing solutions forward.
