TB Alliance (Global Alliance for TB Drug Development) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the discovery and development of better, faster acting, and affordable tuberculosis drugs/regimens. It was founded in 2000 with main offices in New York and Pretoria. We are a product development partnership venture that involves collaboration with academic laboratories and major pharmaceutical companies in order to harness the power of global innovation, expertise, and... 

At the end of 2014, the Ministry of Health was involved in 104 product development partnerships, involving 19 public and 57 private laboratories. These agreements provide for the development of 101 products (66 medicines, 7 vaccines and 28 other health products). 

Motorola Life Sciences and Packard Biosciences (now Perkin Elmer Life Sciences) established a development partnership with ANL to commercialize the technology in 1998 but later abandoned the technology in favor of the SurModics hydrogel introduced in 1999 (3D-Link ). Motorola introduced the CodeLink microarray product based upon the SurModics PhotoLink chemistry. Amersham Biosciences acquired Motorola s biochip business in 2002 and now offers CodeLink microarrays. Perkin Elmer sells a similar product under the trade name of HydroGel 3D.

Since the completion of the furniture flame retardancy partnership, which moved the industry towards alternatives for the chemical of concern, pentaBDE, the DfE Program has developed partnerships to evaluate Agency priority chemicals (http // www.epa.gov/dfe/altemative assessments.html). These partnerships will assist product manufacturers as they identify safer chemical alternatives [22]. 

Product development public-private partnerships (p-PPPs) are collaborative organizations between non-profit and for-profit organizations. They are institutionalized with public intervention and/or funding because markets are perceived as unable to adequately connect relevant resources and capabilities between science and industry in basic research. Clearly, diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, and others that are even less well known are rampant in developing countries but are far less of a threat in most developed countries (Wheeler and Berkley 2001 Kaplan and Laing 2004). There is, therefore, little or no economic incentive to develop pharmaceutical products for these diseases (Biel 2001 Milne, Kaitin, and Ronchi 2004 Kaplan and Laing 2004). The industry s lack of enthusiasm is also a result of distribution challenges in countries with poor infrastructures and lack of awareness about these diseases in more developed countries, liability considerations, inadequate science base, and underestimation of the disease burden. Product PPPs have been developed to address... 

Of the 78 active partnerships, the number of partnerships that focus on certain diseases or health policy issues is set out in the Annex. Partnerships may deal in any combination with product distribution, product development, and/or policy and health systems issues between or among various diseases. The development of PPPs has engendered a debate over their goals, strategies, and sustainability. Table 4.1 (adapted from Foladorl 2003) summarizes some of the issues. 

External research partnerships, properly designed and integrated into internal activities, can accelerate the new product development process. The time from idea stage to commercialization, with the proper commitments, can be reduced substantially, in some cases by 50 to 66 percent. Akzo Nobel... 

NIH is a key element in a partnership that has thrived for decades and includes universities and academic health centers, independent research institutions, and private industry, where research programs and product development activities help make federally funded research findings more widely available. The partnership, which has produced many of the medical advances that benefit Americans today, also includes voluntary and professional health organizations, and the Congress, which consistently has supported this vast enterprise. 

It was Sony s technical and product development capabilities, however, not Matsushita s marketing ones, that were primarily responsible for Japan s epic conquest of world markets. Sony created the barriers to entry that drove all the U.S. competitors and, in time, the one European competitor. Philips, out of the audio and video industry. Akio Morita and an associate formed in 1946 a partnership that became known as Sony its first major successful product, introduced in 1955, was a transistor-based miniature radio. In the early 1960s Morita built, following Matsushita s example, a...

Product development in the new millennium means not only developing your own material, but also assisting the customer who produces the ultimately used lead-containing materials. The assistance requires even more knowledge of the customer s process and leads to a partnership between the lead product producer and lead consumer in batteries. The lead product development engineer in the new millennium must be as (or more) knowledgeable about the user s process than the customer.
