As the only research center totally focused on critical infectious diseases such as Malaria, Tuberculosis, and HIV, the Center for infectious Disease Research deserve our support. Literally 2/3rds of the world is infected with one of these diseases. And, given global warming and travel, TB and Malaria could be coming to the US soon. Dr. Alan Aderem who head up the Center for Infectious Disease Research was born in South Africa, was imprisoned under apartheid, and has a special personal affinity for diseases which are ravaging Africa. You may think that the Center would be totally funded by folks like the Gates Foundation but you would be wrong. It needs your philanthropic support.

I consider myself a champion of social justice, and can't think of a better place to invest my money. As a donor, I know that my contributions to the Center will be used in accordance with my wishes because of the transparency they offer through sites like GuideStar and Charity Navigator

Global health is important and CID Research is one of the leading organizations championing this cause. As a Seattle local, I am proud to support their critical research that is happening in my own backyard.

There is a huge gap between the need and what private industry can or will do to develop products for underserved markets. CIDR is working to develop new drugs and vaccines to fill that gap and get much needed solutions to global health problems. The scientists and CIDR are world class!!! They deserve not only our respect but our support.

One of the few large nonprofits working on infectious disease in the world. They are constantly making breakthroughs and that put us closer and closer to eradicating the diseases that plague billions of people.

Infectious diseases are disproportionately represented amongst resource-poor countries. If you're truly concerned about social justice, equality, and global health, this is a great organization to support. They do SO MUCH with their lean staff, really - a sound investment.
