Description
Background: AMR burden is greatest in LMICs and requires a One Health approach. The Global AMR R&D Hub and WHO Quadripartite AMR technical core team assessed how AMR investments align with the One Health Priority Research Agenda for AMR (OHPRAA) and identified gaps.
Methods: Cross-sector AMR projects were identified by the Hub/WHO Quadripartite working group. A Dimensions search retrieved 1,420 grant records. Using an OHPRAA-based codebook, abstracts were coded by pillar, subpillar, and cross-cutting theme. Pilot intercoder reliability was high (Cohen’s kappa 0.8); disagreements were resolved by review. After excluding 477 out-of-scope records, 943 projects were analyzed for counts, funding, award size, annual disbursement, 2020–2025 cohorts, funder concentration, and theme coverage.
Results: Transmission dominated (489 projects; 51.9%), followed by integrated surveillance (185; 19.6%), intervention (149; 15.8%), economics and policy (62; 6.5%), and behavioural insights and change (58; 6.2%). Sustainability appeared in 396 projects (42%), vulnerability in 253 (26.8%), and gender in only 8 (0.8%). Transmission and integrated surveillance attracted similar funding (USD 237.4M and USD 235.8M). Top five funders supplied 54.3% of funding. Annual disbursement peaked at USD 107M in 2020; awards shifted toward intervention in 2024 and behavioural work in 2025.
Conclusion: AMR investments support transmission and surveillance research, but gender-responsive research remains a gap.
