ETP Global Animal HealthThe Vision July 2005

• To facilitate and accelerate the development and
  distribution of the most effective tools for
  controlling animal diseases of major importance
  to Europe and the rest of the world, thereby
  improving human and animal health, food safety
  and quality, animal welfare, and market access,
  contributing to achieving the Millennium
  Development Goals.

Action plan July 2007

• Tasks
• Finalise and peer review the criteria identified
  for assessment and the scores to be allocated to
  each of the criteria for use in the model
• Provide an evidence base for each disease by the
  collection of information in a standard format
  which can be converted into scores.
• Score each disease against the criteria to
  identify the importance of the disease to Europe
• Further development of the paper based
  prioritisation model
• Develop an IT based decision support tool
• Produce an interactive tool to help with
  prioritisation of research funding.

DISCONTOOLS

• Conduct a review of current world wide
  prioritisation methodologies.
• Identify relevant criteria for disease assessment
  and the scores and weighting to be allocated to
  each of the criteria for use in the model. Peer
  review by an expert group
• Develop a interactive web based database for
  entry, review, analysis and agreement of the
  disease prioritisation information
• Provide an evidence base for each disease by the
  collection of information using a standard
  questionnaire which can be converted into scores.
  Experts in their field asked to complete the
  questionnaire electronically
• Score each disease against the criteria. Validate
  individual scores by experts then peer review by
  a working group
• Develop the prioritisation model initially paper
  based but later IT based...
• Develop an IT based prioritisation decision
  support tool using in house IT specialist or
  contractor
• Produce an interactive tool to help with
  prioritisation of research funding.
• Feedback to identify better focused research into
  those areas where new tools and methods for
  control have a priority
