Three top global health funders have joined forces in a $300 million research partnership to tackle the linked impacts of climate change, malnutrition, and infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance in low- and middle-income countries.
The Gates Foundation, Wellcome, and the Novo Nordisk Foundation will each provide $100 million over three years to break down barriers between research areas that have typically been siloed, they announced last month. It’s the first time the three funders have all worked together.
The aim is to ensure a greater understanding of “the interplay between nutrition, immunity, disease, and developmental outcomes” and “advancing climate data,” according to the announcement last month.
