A serious lack of funding exists for the research and development (R&D) of therapeutics, diagnostics, and preventive measures for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Hence, crowdfunding to finance R&D for NTDs has high importance, because it is a new and alternate source of capital. This study explores current trends of crowdfunding for R&D for NTDs. Our study showed that, although the number of crowdfunding campaigns for NTDs has been increasing since 2010, crowdfunding overall has not reached its full potential. Several factors contributing positively to the success of crowdfunding campaigns were identified. These and the promotion of the crowdfunding ecosystem could aid the unlocking of its potential as a complementary financing source to conventional funding practices of R&D for NTDs.
在治疗方法、诊断方法和防治被忽视的热带病（NTDs）的预防措施的研究和开发（R&D）方面，严重缺乏资金。因此，众筹为 NTDs 的 R&D 提供资金具有重要意义，因为它是一种新的和替代的资本来源。本研究探讨了众筹为 NTDs 的 R&D 提供资金的当前趋势。我们的研究表明，尽管自 2010 年以来，针对 NTDs 的众筹活动数量一直在增加，但众筹总体上尚未发挥其全部潜力。确定了一些对众筹活动成功有积极贡献的因素。这些因素以及众筹生态系统的推广，可以帮助释放其潜力，成为防治 NTDs 的 R&D 的传统资金来源的补充资金来源。
