The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funded DCP3 as an element of its Disease Control Priorities Network grant to the University of Washington. The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Many institutions have made available the time of their staff and they are specifically acknowledged in each volume. The views expressed in this paper are those of individual authors and not of the institutions with which they are affiliated. We acknowledge three institutions that have played key roles in DCP3. One is the World Bank, original home for the DCP series and accomplished publisher of its products. Within the World Bank, Carlos Rossel and Mary Fisk oversaw the editing and publication of the series, and served as important champions for DCP3. The second is the Inter-Academy Medical Panel (IAMP) and its US affiliate, the National Academy of Medicine (NAM). IAMP/NAM have organised a peer-review process to cover chapters in the nine volumes, and they established an Advisory Committee to the Editors, chaired by Anne Mills, of enormous value. The Department of Global Health, University of Washington, has provided a congenial home for DCP for the past 5 years. We acknowledge the intellectual and practical support of the department's two chairs during this period, King Holmes and Judith Wasserheit. We thank Shamelle Richards, Tiffany Wilk, and Nazila Dabestani for their administrative and research support to the production of DCP3. Brianne Adderley has ably served DCP3 as Project Manager since the beginning, and we owe her a very particular thanks. We thank the referees for valuable and constructive comments.
