About TIPS

One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.

Often credited to John F. Kennedy, though no one knows who first said it – the JFK Presidential Library explains.

This principle is why TIPS exists. We are volunteers, and we do this work to communicate advances in science and innovation – so that ideas that make a difference reach the people who can put them to use.

The Infection Prevention Strategy (TIPS) is a not-for-profit with the mandate to communicate successes in science and global health. We do this through our free-to-access platforms: the open-access TIPS Journal, the TIPS Master Series, TIPS Interviews and the TIPS Science to Market® program. TIPS extends to 30+ countries and is the key strategic partner for many notable organizations, initiatives, and events. In the past few years, TIPS has contributed millions in scientific impact. Many of our successes are published here, in our open-access TIPS Journal.

Launched on November 15, 2015, on the eve of World Antibiotic Awareness Week, the TIPS Journal met the call to action by Dr. Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization:

 “…The World Economic Forum has identified antibiotic resistance as a global risk beyond the capacity of any one organization or nation to manage or mitigate alone…”

In addressing this concern to the G7 Health Ministers on October 8, 2015, Dr. Chan concluded her statements with the following observation:

 “… Consumer groups and civil society can play an important role in combating antimicrobial resistance. They are important movers, shakers, and front-line players, especially in this age of social media…“

Therein lies the value of the TIPS Journal.

As stated above: TIPS exists to advance innovations, ideas and processes that make a difference in global health.
The TIPS Journal is the global platform that we use to communicate these successes.
