At the Global Network we're focused on advocacy, policy and resource mobilization for the 7 most common NTDs that impact over 1.4 billion of the world's poorest people. We invite you to join the discussion around NTD control efforts, as well as R&D, at www.endtheneglect.org. Thanks for this post and for introducing NTDs into the ONE portfolio!

I know it is short notice if you haven't already heard about it. This topic will be discussed in a series of 3 day "science" sessions. Also maternal and child health... a gamet of other topics that make up Public Health. Anyone can attend and the latest research in each field is presented. It is a huge benefit and very educational. Also, Tulane University, New Orleans, LA, USA (I am a grad student,) has a school of tropical medicine and disease. You should check out some of the programs and research projects that they have as that is the concentration for the entire school.
