While global programs targeting the control or elimination of five of the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs)-lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, soil-transmitted helminthiasis, schistosomiasis and trachoma-are well underway, they still face many operational challenges. Because of the urgency of 2020 program targets, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the U.S. Agency for International Development devised a novel rapid research response (RRR) framework to engage national programs, researchers, implementers and WHO in a Coalition for Operational Research on NTDs. After 2 years, this effort has succeeded as an important basis for the research response to programmatic challenges facing NTD programs.
虽然旨在控制或消除五种被忽视的热带病（淋巴丝虫病、盘尾丝虫病、土壤传播的蠕虫病、血吸虫病和沙眼）的全球项目正在顺利进行，但它们仍面临许多业务挑战。由于2020年项目目标的紧迫性，比尔及梅琳达·盖茨基金会和美国国际开发署设计了一个全新的快速研究应对（RRR）框架，以使国家项目、研究人员、实施者和世界卫生组织参与到被忽视热带病行动研究联盟中。两年后，这项工作取得了成功，成为应对被忽视热带病项目所面临的项目挑战的研究应对的重要基础。
