We strengthen systems from the national to the local level that are critical to:
- Prevent, detect, and respond effectively to emerging disease risks and threats
- Improve preparedness to create resilient health systems
- Conduct research to find innovative solutions to health challenges
CRDF Global partners with governments, research institutions, universities, international organizations, the private sector, and local organizations to strengthen health systems for global health security. Our multisectoral and scalable approaches promote collaborative partnerships and country-led solutions for sustainability and self-reliance.

CRDF Global helps governments and their partners to plan to effectively implement the International Health Regulations (2005), Biological Weapons Convention, and other international agreements.
CRDF Global strengthens systems to detect and reduce the risk of zoonotic disease spillover and spread, using a One Health approach to improve early warning, timely data sharing, laboratory testing, and joint outbreak response capacities across the human health, animal health, environment, and wildlife sectors.
CRDF Global uses evidence-based approaches to strengthen national systems to prevent, detect, and control the growing threat of AMR through laboratory based surveillance and infection prevention and control.
CRDF Global supports tiered, integrated laboratory networks for health service delivery and detection of priority diseases rapidly, reliably, accurately, and safely.
CRDF Global strengthens the national systems and human capital needed to detect and monitor infectious diseases and use surveillance data for action.
CRDF Global enhances capacities to respond effectively to health emergencies, from establishing and operationalizing Emergency Operation Centers to planning, training, and exercising.
CRDF Global enables researchers to collaborate and solve problems. We provide project management, financial management, education, and grants management assistance to individual researchers, national research institutions, and global research networks to advance global health research.
Past Experience
Supporting Cooperative Programs on Infectious Diseases
CRDF Global teamed up with the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to support the U.S.-Japan Cooperative Medical Sciences Program 22nd International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases by providing planning, logistics, and program management support.
The program’s objectives included scientific exchange, building networks, fostering relationships with scientists and government officials from the U.S., Japan, and the Asia-Pacific region, as well as exploring future opportunities for collaboration
Expanding International Research Collaborations to Fight COVID-19
In 2020, CRDF Global awarded funds to four international research teams to further global knowledge on preventing, detecting, and responding to COVID-19. Under the auspices of the e-ASIA Research Program, researchers from the U.S. and East and Southeast Asia are collaborating to foster the development of diagnostics, therapeutics, preventive strategies, and effective vaccination against COVID-19 – all while strengthening multilateral collaborations among their countries.
