Join the Community

TDR Global is a worldwide community of passionate scientists and experts who have been working with TDR on research on infectious diseases of poverty. It’s a vibrant scientific community of TDR grantees, trainees, expert advisors, staff members and committee members – both those who are currently engaged, and those who have previously worked with TDR in its 40 years of existence.

This community has a special online platform, a public database of all these individuals, specifically created to provide opportunities for collaborating and mentoring. And it’s available to both visitors and members, although the full rewards of the platform are reaped when members have active, complete and up-to-date profiles.

Here are some of the benefits.

Visitors (non-members) can:

• Search by name, keyword or discipline;
• Refine searches by WHO region, country or nationality; and
• View collaboration networks to help them find experts.

Members with active, accurately updated profiles can:

• Access a broad pool of scientists working in the same region, sharing the same research interests, or offering complementary expertise;
• Promote their work;
• Find mentors or mentees;
• Discover unique research opportunities; and
• Gain exclusive access to educational webinars and tutorials.

So, whether you’re looking for an expert, putting together a multidisciplinary team, wanting to share your knowledge with the next generation, or needing additional exposure for your work, don’t miss out on the many opportunities available to you as a TDR affiliate.

Visit the platform, and make it work for you – by updating your profile and claiming your publications.

Let’s grow this community together and continue fostering valuable connections.
