WGNV seeks to support and facilitate TB vaccine R&D and to advance the vaccine-related objectives in the Global Plan to End TB by conducting activities in the following priority areas.
ADVOCACY
WGNV implements projects and programs that support TB vaccine research literacy among advocates and affected communities, as well as supporting advocacy literacy among researchers. WGNV also engages in global advocacy efforts as a member of the Core Group of the TB Vaccine Advocacy Roadmap (TBVaxARM).

Supporting Early Career Researchers
WGNV supports an Early Career Researcher (ECR) Network, which coordinates activities to support and engage ECRs. These may include virtual networking sessions, online and in-person networking opportunities, workshops and talk to the experts sessions on topics that are important to ECRs, and opportunities to raise the visibility of ECRs in the TB vaccine R&D space.

Knowledge-Sharing
Issues in Product Development
WGNV recognizes the challenges in translating concepts for novel TB vaccines into potential products. To help address this challenge, WGNV provides resources and information on product development and is developing a platform for researchers to connect with each other and with potential partners and collaborators.
