Leprosy research and funding

The Lep­rosy Research Ini­tia­tive is a com­bined ven­ture of:

• Nether­lands Lep­rosy Relief (NLR),
• Amer­i­can Lep­rosy Mis­sions (ALM),
• Ger­man Lep­rosy and Tuber­cu­lo­sis Relief Asso­ci­a­tion (DAHW),
• effect:hope (The Lep­rosy Mis­sion Canada) and
• The Lep­rosy Mis­sion Inter­na­tional (TLMI).

The part­ners have estab­lished a joint fund to sup­port lep­rosy research and to source exter­nal fund­ing. The joint fund will be reserved for research that is exclu­sively or strongly related to lep­rosy. Addi­tional resources will be actively sought for research in the field of gen­eral dis­abil­i­ties and for research aimed at dif­fer­ent dis­eases (e.g. other NTDs, tuberculosis and dia­betes) in com­bi­na­tion with leprosy.

The Lep­rosy Mis­sion Ire­land (TLM Ire­land) is sup­port­ing the run­ning costs. The Austrian Leprosy Relief Association (ALRA) funds a research grant.
