The Disease Control Priorities Network (DCPN) project at the University of Washington’s Department of Global Health - through support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation - aims to improve the allocation of health resources across a wide range of investment options, including interventions, service delivery platforms, and research and development of new technologies. DCPN stems from twenty years of Disease Control Priorities (DCP) research on health priority setting activities in low and middle-income countries.
