The Infectious Diseases Data Observatory (IDDO) is a scientifically independent, multi-disciplinary coalition of the global infectious disease and emerging infections communities. It provides the methods, governance and infrastructure to translate data into evidence that improves outcomes for patients worldwide. Currently, IDDO has eight active areas of research with many more already in development or being scoped for feasibility.
