National Institutes of Health Funding for Tuberculosis Comorbidities Is Disproportionate to Their Epidemiologic Impact.

ABSTRACT: Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading infectious killer worldwide. We systematically searched the National Institutes of Health Research, Portfolio Online Reporting Tools Expenditures and Results (RePORTER) website to compare research funding for key TB comorbidities-undernutrition, alcohol use, human immunodeficiency virus, tobacco use, and diabetes-and found a large mismatch between the population attributable fraction of these risk factors and the funding allocated to them.
