The Lancet

Preview
The University Global Health Impact Report Card  http://globalhealthgrades.org/ was released on April 4, marking a new effort to identify the standings of leading North American research universities in bridging the gap between research and roll out of treatments for neglected diseases. The report, sponsored by the Universities Allied for Essential Medicines, assesses the performance of 54 institutions on two key aspects—commitment to innovation in research that bears on the developing world and the use of open, socially responsible technology licensing that helps to ensure affordable access.
