Databases on processes for R&D

Processes for R&D are activities in between inputs for and outputs of undertaking R&D that allows tracking what is being done by whom, on what, how. Examples include clinical trials registration, patents registration etc.

Health products in the pipeline

This product pipeline portal developed by Impact Global Health contains an interactive dashboard which tracks products in the global health R&D pipeline by global health area, disease, product type and R&D stage. It also provides an alignment score to WHO priorities

This is the main website for Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND). It gives information on their portfolio for diagnostics, which includes hepatitis C, HIV, malaria, tuberculosis [TB] and neglected tropical diseases as well as various cross-cutting themes such as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and pandemic preparedness (see their portfolio tab). Their tools and support tab give links to other useful resources and tools such as target product profiles, a diagnostics pipeline tracker (see further information below) and clinical trial platforms.

This is an interactive diagnostics pipeline developed by FIND that maps the status and estimated release dates of various diagnostics for the diseases tracked by FIND. The tracker allows stakeholders to visualize the diagnostic landscape and predict when products may be available for implementation. The pipeline can be viewed by status and by timeline.

This freely available database on drugs and drug targets combines detailed drug (i.e. chemical, pharmacological and pharmaceutical) data with comprehensive drug target (i.e. sequence, structure, and pathway) information. Its broad scope and detail lead to it claiming to be more like a drug encyclopedia than a drug database.

MMV, an antimalarial drug research and development product development partnership (PDP), provides a quarterly updated analysis on its website of candidate products in the global pipeline for malaria for medicines, vaccines and diagnostics (Vector control products are not included.)

The Global AMR R&D Hub facilitates international cross-sector collaboration in antimicrobial resistance research and development, fostering innovation to safeguard global health. The dynamic dashboards track investments and development pipelines for AMR.

The TB alliance is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the discovery, development and delivery of better, faster-acting and affordable tuberculosis drugs. The pipeline tracker coves their pipeline of TB drugs in development and is updated on a quarterly basis, with studies added after enrollment has initiated and removed after the completion of the clinical study report.
