| Abstract | The Special Programme for Research and
Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) is an independent
global programme of scientific collaboration cosponsored
by the United Nations Children’s Fund, the United Nations
Development Program, the World Bank, and the World
Health Organization. TDR’s strategy is based on stewardship
for research on infectious diseases of poverty,
empowerment of endemic countries, research on neglected
priority needs, and the promotion of scientific
collaboration influencing global efforts to combat major
tropical diseases. In 2001, in view of the achievements
obtained in the reduction of transmission of Chagas
disease through the Southern Cone Initiative and the
improvement in Chagas disease control activities in some
countries of the Andean and the Central American
Initiatives, TDR transferred the Chagas Disease Implementation
Research Programme (CIRP) to the Communicable
Diseases Unit of the Pan American Health Organization
(CD/PAHO). This paper presents a scientometric evaluation
of the 73 projects from 18 Latin American and
European countries that were granted by CIRP/PAHO/TDR
between 1997 and 2007. We analyzed all final reports of
the funded projects and scientific publications, technical
reports, and human resource training activities derived
from them. Results about the number of projects funded,
countries and institutions involved, gender analysis,
number of published papers in indexed scientific journals,
main topics funded, patents inscribed, and triatomine
species studied are presented and discussed. The results
indicate that CIRP/PAHO/TDR initiative has contributed
significantly, over the 1997–2007 period, to Chagas
disease knowledge as well as to the individual and
institutional-building capacity. | pt_BR |
