Research and product development are a fundamental part of
the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, to ensure that the best tools are being
used to accelerate the eradication of polio and to inform long-term policy on
poliovirus in the post-eradication era.
New research proposals are solicited. Current
research and product development falls into the following areas:
Assessment
of emerging risks
Research to accelerate eradication
Research for safer affordable IPV
Long-term surveillance and response
Long-term
containment of polioviruses
Options for safely stopping OPV use
