The Union has three official journals: >> The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, IJTLD - the leading peer-reviewed journal dedicated to lung health worldwide. >> IJTLD Open - The Union's new Open Access journal for the latest research on TB and lung diseases including asthma, COVID-19 and COPD. >> Public Health Action - the latest operational research on health systems.

This online course from The Union will provide researchers with the relevant knowledge and skills to be able to plan, design, and write grants in their own right. It is available to all audiences as an asynchronous online learning option with a mix of educational units of about 20 min each. A variety of engaging activities such as polls, quizzes, small case studies, multiple-choice questions are used to support learner engagement.

The Union World Conference on Lung Health brings together researchers, practitioners, advocates, policymakers and communities from around the world to share knowledge, exchange ideas and accelerate progress in lung health.

This webinar looks at the latest in Zoonotic TB and the concept of One Health.

While discussions on TB often focus on epidemiology, surveillance, and control, this session brings forward the human dimension of this disease. Through their personal journeys of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, survivors share the real-life challenges of living with zoonotic TB. Their stories reveal important social, cultural, and health system barriers, and emphasize the need for faster and integrated One Health approaches to prevention and control.

This webinar recording explores mycobacterial diagnostic tools and their applications in TB prevention and treatment. Learn to effectively use and interpret TSTs, IGRAs, and cultures for diagnosing LTBI and active TB disease. Case studies will highlight real-world challenges and best practices for leveraging these tools in clinical practice.

The purpose of this program is to encourage the development of researchers in child health by awarding small grants to new researchers, helping them gain a foothold in this important area. The goal is to fund applicants who will go on to be independent investigators. The Fund will make up to 32 awards total with two funding cycles (16 awards each).

TB in pregnancy poses serious risks to both mother and fetus if not promptly diagnosed and managed. This webinar recirding covers key aspects of TB diagnosis, treatment, and complications during pregnancy. Participants will also be introduced to the TB Pregnancy Toolkit and other resources to support effective care for pregnant patients.

Tuberculosis Laboratory Operations Group (TB-LOG) was established in Edmonton, Canada, to support diagnostic evaluation, clinical research, and laboratory quality by helping research teams better understand how laboratory operations and technology work together as components of the diagnostic system. Through scientific evaluation of laboratory execution in routine practice, TB-LOG may contribute to a better understanding of operational factors that influence the quality, reliability, and interpretation of diagnostic results. The site provided a number of resources related to laboratory operations. There are 2 videos related to TB-LOG: YouTube Video 1: https://youtu.be/u9xjC-YRR14 YouTube Video 2: https://youtu.be/ys417E39GJo

To address the need for trustworthy and scientifically based information focused on providing a basic understanding of science, HANC responded by creating an ad-hoc work group with international membership to develop videos on several important topics. On this page you will find videos and links to additional resources that aim to make understanding science and clinical research easier. Videos include: Why is Science Essential?, Why is Research Important in Science?, Who are Clinical Research Stakeholders?, The Scientific Method, and Regulations and Clinical Research Studies.

This webinar covered Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) in persons with TB and how to medically manage these patients.
