<p>Stub: PDP model</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A &#039;&#039;&#039;product development partnership&#039;&#039;&#039; (PDP) is a collaborative model for developing technologies — particularly drugs, vaccines, and diagnostics — in which public institutions, private companies, academic researchers, and philanthropic organizations share costs, risks, and intellectual property. PDPs are designed to address market failures in which the social value of a technology exceeds its commercial value, making conventional private-sector development economically unviable.<br /> <br /> The PDP model emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s as a response to the [[10/90 gap]] in health research. Organizations such as the [[Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative]] and the [[Medicines Patent Pool]] operate as PDPs, coordinating distributed research capacity without owning the full vertical stack of development. The model is a form of [[Distributed Cognition|distributed cognition]] applied to industrial innovation: the knowledge and capacity are distributed across institutions, and the coordination function is performed by a central entity that manages the feedback topology of the collaboration.<br /> <br /> See also [[Open-Source Drug Development|open-source drug development]] and [[Institutional Feedback Loop|institutional feedback loops]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:Systems]] [[Category:Medicine]] [[Category:Economics]]</div>
