This funding supported the creation of a cloud-based technical platform for the US national disease surveillance program, consultation with the Ugandan Ministry of Health to establish long-term public health information strategies, provide direct technical assistance to state public health agencies as well as develop and deliver informatics training to the US public health workforce. PHII also served as secretariat for the Joint Public Health Informatics Taskforce, a collaboration of public health associations that works together to forge common national information capability. African Health Workforce Project: Countries worldwide are challenged by health worker shortages and an imbalance of skilled health professionals. Often there is an abundance of skilled workers in some regions while other communities are lacking. Regulatory agencies, charged with ensuring the quality of the education and skills of the healthcare professionals, are often underfunded and lack basic resources such as information systems, frameworks for continuous professional education and IT infrastructure. Healthcare managers need adequate information about the supply and demand for healthcare workers to manage their workforce more efficiently, plan for scale up of the workforce, ensure proper regulation of professionals, and to develop effective human resource policies. However, many countries lack computerized data systems that can provide these critical data. The African Health Workforce Project is designed to address these issues by assisting health professional regulatory agencies in development of human resource information systems, improvement of IT infrastructure, and collaborative forums to assist them in strengthening regulatory functions to improve professional standards in the east, central, and southern regions of Africa.TEPHINET provided services to the US public health system through cooperative agreements with the CDC. This federal funding supported primarily the development of field epidemiology training programs (FETPs) and graduates around the world to prevent, detect and respond to public health threats such as outbreaks and natural disasters and to tackle challenging issues in chronic disease. One cooperative agreement focused on the development of FETPs in Latin America specifically, and the creation of a regional network of FETPs there, as well as HIV and influenza surveillance in Central America. The other agreement had a more global focus and supported several field epidemiology projects utilizing residents and graduates of programs to evaluate surveillance systems, analyze public health data and provide recommendations to senior public health officials, investigate outbreaks, develop preventive interventions, and conduct scientific studies. TEPHINET also collaborated with the CDC on a few quality improvement projects. This included an evaluation of ten FETP programs to determine their progress towards supporting public health capacity in country. TEPHINET also coordinated an accreditation process for FETPs using cooperative agreement funds. All 58 FETPs were involved in providing feedback to establish the minimum standards and process for accreditation and a pilot was completed in 2012-2013 with five FETP countries. It is expected that a few programs will become officially accredited in 2014.

CWW is a partnership among Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline and the Task Force for Global Health that supports the treatment and prevention of soil-transmitted helminths (STH), commonly known as intestinal worms. CWW envisions the world's children free of STH so they can grow, play, learn and enrich their communities. To achieve this vision, CWW works with partners around the world, including the World Health Organization (WHO), national, regional, and local government ministries of health and education, and non-governmental organizations to provide crucial medicines - albendazole and mebendazole - to treat at-risk children. CWW also provides technical support to national programs to advocate for and implement strategies to prevent STH infection. These strategies include increasing access to water and sanitation facilities and providing hygiene education. In 2012, CWW facilitated the shipment of 98,682,000 doses of mebendazole to 8 countries to treat children for intestinal worms. CWW also co-sponsored a meeting on STH with the Pan American Health Organization, attended by representatives from 18 countries in the region. ITI: Since joining the Task Force for Global Health in 2009, ITI has established a unique competitive advantage within the global trachoma community based on its singular focus on trachoma, its credibility as a neutral convener and trusted ally, its flexibility and ability to lead initiatives in support of scale-up, and its role as the sole steward of Pfizer, Inc.'s Zithromax(R) drug donation. ITI fulfills three value-adding roles that contribute to the implementation of the WHO-endorsed SAFE strategy (Surgery, Antibiotic treatment, Facial cleanliness, Environmental improvement , namely: 1) stewardship of the Zithromax(R) drug donation; 2) program delivery strengthening, through operational research, knowledge sharing, capacity building and technical backstopping; and 3) partnership development, through support to the International Coalition for Trachoma Control (ICTC), spearheading WASH/NTD engagement, and mobilizing resources for trachoma. The Neglected Tropical Diseases Support Center (NTD-SC) serves as the recipient and coordinator of a new Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation grant entitled "Filling the Gaps - Operational Research to Ensure the Success of the Neglected Tropical Disease Control and Elimination Programs". This grant enables the NTD-SC to collaborate with the NTD community in addressing priority research needs for the NTDs, which threaten the lives and well-being of millions of people in some of the world's poorest communities. Through a highly collaborative project structure, NTD researchers will have a forum to identify needs, work together, and make the technical advances needed to maximize the impact of programs targeting NTDs. MDP: Established 26 years ago, the Mectizan Donation Program (MDP) is the longest-running, disease-specific, drug donation program and public/private partnership of its kind. The MDP secretariat is a partner of the Task Force for Global Health, and was established to provide medical, technical and administrative oversight of the donation of the anti-parasitic medication Mectizan for river blindness (onchocerciasis) control. In 1998, Merck expanded the mandate of the program to include lymphatic filariasis elimination in Africa and in Yemen where the two diseases are co-endemic through the co-administration of Mectizan and albendazole, an anti-parasitic donated by GlaxoSmithKline. In 2013, MDP provided an estimated 90,000,000 Mectizan and albendazole treatments to onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis endemic countries in Africa, Latin America, and Yemen. 4921040 0 5394697 The Center for Vaccine Equity (CVE) includes: the Coalition for Cholera Prevention, the Polio Antiviral Initiative' and Voices for Vaccines. Vaccines remain the most powerful tool for preventing infectious diseases. The mission of The Task Force's Center for Vaccine Equity (CVE) is to assure the equitable use of vaccines everywhere and the eradication of poliovirus. The primary activities of CVE are to identify and implement innovative approaches to reduce or eliminate the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases and lead a global partnership to develop poliovirus antivirals for use in the polio eradication effort. The work being done through the polio eradication projects is designed to remove the threat of transmission of poliovirus from patients who are not able to eliminate the virus, as well as the risk of transmission of vaccine-derived viruses, thereby contributing to the prevention and control of outbreaks as part of the end-game strategy for polio eradication. CVE is developing innovative approaches to assure that vaccines are available wherever they are needed. Current activities include working with stakeholders to optimize the use of cholera and rabies vaccines and advocating for development and licensure of vaccines that are not currently being pursued by companies in industrialized countries. Additionally, CVE is expanding its role in providing science-based advocacy for vaccines. The following is a summary of the progress in the CVE projects and programs: * Polio Eradication Projects o Poliovirus Antivirals Initiative - completed a clinical proof of concept study demonstrating the effectiveness of an oral anti-poliovirus drug on poliovirus ecretion. o Immunization Services Management Group Support Team - established a team to support WHO efforts to introduce inactivated poliovirus vaccine in countries currently using the oral live virus vaccine * Cholera Prevention and Control Projects o Coalition for Cholera Prevention and Control - led coalition efforts to generate a document entitled Comprehensive Integrated Strategy for Cholera Prevention and Control o Revitalization of Global Task Force on Cholera Control - worked with WHO to reestablish and revitalize the Global Task Force * Partnership for Influenza Vaccine Introduction - organized meeting of donors and stakeholders to plan the distribution of influenza vaccine for use in pregnant women in developing countries * Rabies Vaccine/Immune Globulin Emergency Stockpile - identified potential countires fo0r establishing a stockpile and began work to establish the stockpile * Voices For Vaccines - supported the parent led advocacy program that tripled its membership this past year. 0 0 0 30556081 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 129 0 1 0 0 1 CO ET GT 0 0 0 0 X 9 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 GA X Thomas F Rosenberger 4045921430 325 Swanton Way Decatur GA 300303001 Mark Rosenberg 39 1 X X X X 300123 0 32122 Jane Fugate Thorpe 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Paula Lawton Bevington 1 0 X 0 0 0 James W Curran 1 0 X 0 0 0 John B Hardman 1 0 X 0 0 0 Charles H McTier 1 0 X 0 0 0 Carol C Walters 1 0 X X X 0 0 0 Mary Laney Reilly 1 0 X 0 0 0 Teri Plummer McClure 1 0 X 0 0 0 Thomas F Rosenberger 39 1 X X X 250859 0 28195 David A Ross 39 1 X X 211350 0 27987 Adrian Hopkins 40 0 X X 194771 0 26882 Alan R Hinman 40 0 X X 194961 0 17924 Martha Rogers 40 0 X X 195627 0 26288 David G Addis 40 0 X X 200967 0 8077 1548658 0 167475 26 1 1 0 ViroDefense 155 Gibbs Street Suite 529 Rockville MD 20850 Research on Polio antiviral drug 3182609 International Society for Disease Surveillance 136 Harrison Ave Boston MA 02111 Software for disease surveillance 416500 InSTEDD BP 5797 Yaounde Center Sunnyvale CA 94085 Migrate data to the cloud 517936 GlaxoSmithKline 709 Sedeland Road PO Box 1539 King of Prussia PA 19406 Pharmaceutical Development 800000 Boston Childrens Hospital 300 Longwood Avenue Boston MA 02115 IT project on collaboration 223776 17 0 0 5000 0 12225224 25221436 0 37451660 0 3763 3763 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5000 0 37455423 3763 0 0 X 1520267 1520267 0 0 1352891 1352891 0 0 567566 56216 480553 30797 0 0 0 0 6897956 5758645 1033567 105744 601299 518278 73504 9517 1489587 1138208 321098 30281 94014 72623 19646 1745 0 0 0 0 20677 14985 5692 0 46151 21151 25000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3549696 3532514 17182 0 62990 41350 2150 19490 761628 704244 51584 5800 347793 262626 84842 325 0 0 0 0 270231 155325 114906 0 2079642 2059849 19793 0 0 0 0 0 2920420 2906422 13998 0 62832 0 62832 0 0 0 0 0 297392 0 297392 0 43186 7340 35846 0 Other Direct Program Expense 7258806 7258806 0 0 Bank charges 60349 52572 7777 0 Dues and subscriptions, Misc 162669 115594 42714 4361 Indirect Cost Recovery 3006175 3006175 0 0 33474217 30556081 2710076 208060 33135929 37121938 1555646 1782574 388227 292946 7511832 1685692 6040711 5826140 259043 244278 41379556 45267876 1048273 1034968 3800000 3600000 3834307 3954727 8682580 8589695 X 6022540 6161078 26674436 30517103 0 0 32696976 36678181 41379556 45267876 3981206 0 0 0 -1 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 14604199 24877432 27977633 23656815 30364206 121480285 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14604199 24877432 27977633 23656815 30364206 121480285 17826248 103654037 252877 46369 12704 6080 3763 321793 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 121802078 0.85100 0.77306 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 500000 0 500000 5938497 0 918705 5019792 0 0 0 0 1001184 0 694837 306347 72151 0 72150 1 5826140 0 Due to related party 2354560 Payroll liabilities 796488 Other accrued liabilities 33554 Accrued absences 770125 3954727 37455423 0 0 0 0 0 37455423 0 0 0 37455423 33474217 0 0 0 0 0 33474217 0 0 0 33474217 1 Central America and the Caribbean 2 4 Program Services Lymphatic filariasis elimination testing and research;
