The Infectious Diseases Data Observatory (IDDO) model puts equity for global researchers at the forefront of efforts to improve outcomes for infectious disease-affected communities worldwide. We began in 2009 with a sole malaria focus as the WorldWide Antimalarial Resistance Network (WWARN). Using WWARN’s success as a blueprint for research into other infectious diseases, IDDO launched in 2016. • Bringing diverse data sources and global researchers together • Harmonising disparate data and hosting them securely • Delivering collaborative analyses • Ensuring academic recognition for all data contributors • Improving data quality by sharing best practice Join the IDDO community - info@iddo.org
