Section 107 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 ( 22 U.S.C. 2151e ) is amended by adding at the end the following: There is established in the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) a health technologies program (referred to in this subsection as the program ). The program shall develop, advance, and introduce affordable, available, and appropriate and primarily late-stage technologies specifically designed to— improve the health and nutrition of populations in developing countries; reduce maternal, newborn, and child mortality in such countries; and improve the diagnosis, prevention, and reduction of disease, especially HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases, in such countries.
The program shall be carried out under a cooperative agreement between USAID and one or more institutions with a successful record of— advancing the technologies described in paragraph (2); and integrating practical field experience into the research and development process in order to introduce the most appropriate technologies. The provisions of this subsection codify the cooperative agreement, known as the Health Technologies program, in effect as of the date of the enactment of this subsection, under which USAID supports the development of technologies for global health.
The provisions of this subsection do not establish a new cooperative agreement or program for such purposes. The Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) shall establish and implement action plans to incorporate global health research and product development within each of the global health and development programs, with support from coordinating agencies, and shall establish metrics to measure progress. In implementing the action plans, the Administrator shall consider all options, including the use of public private partnerships.
The Center for Accelerating Innovation and Impact of the United States Agency for International Development shall continue its work to speed the development, introduction, and scale-up of priority global health interventions. .
