RTI looks forward to presenting at the virtual 2020 Annual Meeting of the Coalition for Operational Research on Neglected Tropical Diseases (COR-NTD). The goal of the COR-NTD meeting is to strengthen the community of NTD researchers, program implementers and their supporters to address knowledge gaps in a coordinated way, and to inform the agenda of future NTD research.
