Collaboration with clinical and research partners is a key part of our program. Sixty sites from nineteen countries in Eastern Europe, Asia, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa are sharing data through the TB Portals.

We also engage with academic and private partners on research and software development projects, focusing on TB genomics, radiomics, and data science.

The TB Portals Program is open to developing new research collaborations and data sharing activities that advance our understanding of TB and can lead to public health impact. We also welcome opportunities to expand the volume and types of data, as well as look to explore and implement new visualization, prediction, and analysis methods useful to TB health care professionals, researchers and students.

Why partner with the TB Portals Program?

  • Store your data in a repository that is compatible with the NIH's Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy.
  • TB Portals is supported directly by the United States federal government, so data longevity is preserved.
  • Possible help with sequencing efforts.
  • See your data in the context of other collaborators' data.
  • More cases and data points for fellow researchers.
  • Access to TB Portals partners.
  • Access to TB Portals Genomic, Imaging, and Data Science teams.

The TB Portals Program is a growing global program. We have partner country sites and other sites actively contributing data in Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe. Our scientists are involved in additional scientific collaborations around the world as well.

program objectives

Make TB data available to stimulate new research and explore new avenues for medical care.

Bring added value to new and existing data by linking disparate datasets and data types to link phenotypic, genotypic, clinical, radiographic, and other data.

Foster an international collaborative network dedicated to collection, distribution, and analysis of patient data to be used in TB research and treatment.
