We are pleased to announce the Coalition for Operational Research on Neglected Tropical Diseases (COR-NTD) meeting for 2022 will take place virtually, Oct. 4 and 5. Thank you to all who took the recent survey. In response to the feedback, to maximize participation and minimize uncertainty related to COVID, we have opted for a virtual format again this year.

Also based on your feedback, we have returned to the traditional format for breakout sessions, where scientific presentations are followed by in depth group discussions. Topics for breakout sessions will be solicited from the community via a call for proposals. Successful breakout proposals will be focused on a research topic of interest to the global NTD community and designed to move the operational research agenda forward. Look for the call in early March.

We will also have a separate call for Research Links sessions to take place throughout the year. Stay tuned for additional details in coming weeks.

As always, thank you for your engagement in COR-NTD efforts to overcome barriers and generate innovative solutions in the fight against NTDs. We look forward to your participation in the virtual events planned for 2022.
