Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $197,429 to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine to support a modeling study assessing the health and economic impacts of the TB vaccine candidate VPM1002 when used as a prevention-of-disease vaccine in low‐ and middle‐income countries. This study, led by Professor Richard White, will seek to update existing TB vaccine models with current data to estimate the key outcomes and overall cost-effectiveness of various rollout scenarios.
This falls within Open Philanthropy’s focus area of global health R&D.
