Collaborating Agencies

CONRAD was established in 1986 under a cooperative agreement between Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) and the U. S. Agency for International Development (USAID), but also receives funding through interagency agreements between USAID and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. 

Partnerships with a variety of for-profit entities for specific projects have been established, including Personal Products (J&J), Polydex, ReProtect, Biosyn, Schering AG (now Bayer Schering Pharma), Laboratorios Silesia (now part of Andromaco Group), Gedeon Richter, Aplicaciones Farmaceuticas, and Integra LifeSciences.
