Global health R&D at work in New York

New York State houses the headquarters of three nonprofit product development partnerships dedicated to advancing vaccines, drugs, and other global technologies with public health as the goal rather than profit. IAVI, formally known as the International AIDS Vaccine Alliance, is advancing vaccines for HIV, tuberculosis (TB), and emerging infectious diseases, including Lassa fever, Marburg, and Ebola Sudan. TB Alliance’s mission is to advance better, faster, and more affordable TB cures. The alliance developed the world’s first child-friendly TB treatments, as well as a groundbreaking new drug for highly drug-resistant tuberculosis that is now in use both globally and in the United States. Finally, Population Council works to expand contraceptive options. The organization has brought to market innovations, including a one-year, self-removable contraceptive ring, and is advancing other potential breakthroughs, including male contraception and dual-purpose prevention technologies that protect against unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections at the same time.

Footnotes
  • Methodology
  • US government global health R&D investment (total to state, top funded institutions, top health areas): Authors’ analysis of USG investment data from the G-FINDER survey following identification of state location of funding recipients. Reflects funding for basic research and product development for neglected diseases from 2007 to 2022, for emerging infectious diseases from 2014–2022, and sexual and reproductive health issues from 2018 to 2022. Funding to US government agencies reflects self-funding and/or transfers from other agencies. Some industry data is anonymized and aggregated. See methodology for additional details.
  • *Organization appears to be closed/out of business.
  • Jobs created: Based on author’s analysis described above and previous analysis assessing jobs created per state from US National Institutes of Health funding. See methodology for additional details.
  • Neglected and emerging diseases: Reflects US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data for: Chikungunya virus cases 2014–2022, Dengue virus infection cases 2010-2021, HIV diagnoses 2008–2022, Malaria cases 2007–2022, Mpox cases 2022–March 29, 2023, Tuberculosis cases 2007–2021, Viral hemorrhagic fever cases 2007-2022, and Zika virus disease cases 2015–2021.
