The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Collaboration has expanded to a network of more than 2000 co-investigators from over 128 countries and territories, and counting. To date, the expertise of the collaborators has been in epidemiology, public health, demography, statistics, and country-specific knowledge. Given the importance of connecting disease burden findings to useful health policy and budget allocation questions, we seek to expand the group of investigators involved to incorporate more experts in health financing and health systems.
