On November 16, 2016, TAG held a community webinar on advocacy for TB R&D funding. This webinar builds upon TAG’s annual Report on Tuberculosis Research Funding Trends to begin discussion on next steps for TB R&D funding advocacy into 2017. Panelists discussed the importance of TB research and implications of stagnant funding, shared insights into what to expect in the TB R&D pipeline, and strategized on what we can do as a community to push for change and the necessary political will under a new US presidential administration.
