The DISCONTOOLS project is a joint initiative of the animal health industry and a wide range of stakeholders including the research community, regulators, international organisations, veterinarians and farmers. It provides a database for focusing and prioritising research that ultimately delivers new and improved vaccines, pharmaceuticals and diagnostic tests. The project began as an FP7 EU project and currently is funded by a consortium of EU member states, with industry providing secretariat support. The database is an important resource for public and private funders of animal health research to identify research gaps and develop their research agendas. DISCONTOOLS is also a key resource for the STAR-IDAZ international research consortium on animal health.
