Who we are
The Center for Research and Innovation in Disease Control (CRID) is a Nigerian public health initiative established by KNCV Nigeria. CRID delivers cutting-edge research, innovative disease control interventions, training, and policy support to address Nigeria’s major public health challenges, including tuberculosis, malaria, HIV/AIDS, and emerging infectious diseases. CRID aims to harness KNCV Nigeria’s expertise in research, disease surveillance, and public health innovation to introduce novel strategies, advanced diagnostics, and collaborative frameworks that strengthen the country’s disease control capabilities. Through partnerships with local stakeholders, international organizations, and academia, the center seeks to drive research-backed solutions and foster sustainable improvements in public health outcomes across Nigeria. The establishment of CRID by KNCV Nigeria marks a pivotal opportunity to significantly enhance disease control efforts. Building on KNCV Nigeria’s world-class technical expertise in TB and other public health priorities, the center is positioned to support government agencies, donors, and health institutions in delivering high-impact solutions-particularly in public health research and innovation, disease surveillance and epidemiology, training, capacity building and mentorship, health systems strengthening, implementation science, and community engagement.

KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation (KNCV)
KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation (KNCV) is an internationally recognized organization dedicated to the fight against tuberculosis (TB). Established in 1903, KNCV has over a century of experience in TB control, prevention, and research. The foundation operates in more than 40 countries, working with governments, health organizations, and communities to combat TB and other infectious diseases. It is an initiative of KNCV, drawing on its extensive experience in combating tuberculosis (TB) and other infectious diseases, to propose the establishment of a Center for Research and Innovation in Disease Control in Nigeria. This initiative is driven by the recognition of Nigeria's significant burden of infectious diseases and the need for targeted, innovative approaches to complement the ongoing efforts of NCDC. The center aims to leverage KNCV's expertise in research, disease surveillance, and public health innovation to introduce novel strategies, advanced diagnostics, and collaborative frameworks that can enhance Nigeria's disease control capabilities. By fostering partnerships with local stakeholders, international organizations, and academia, the center seeks to catalyze research-driven solutions and contribute to sustainable improvements in public health outcomes across Nigeria. The establishment of the Center for Research and Innovation in Disease Control by KNCV presents a pivotal opportunity to significantly enhance disease control efforts in Nigeria, in collaboration with the Nigerian Center for Disease Control (NCDC). Leveraging KNCV's world-class technical expertise in TB control and infectious diseases, the proposed center aims to bring substantial benefits to NCDC and the Nigerian state.
