CRIMALDDI Work Process. The CRIMALDDI process is a logical and structured analysis of the challenges to novel anti-malarial drug R&D with the objective of delivering detailed action plans to address the priority challenges. The steps are (1) to identify the work needed to meet the GMAP objectives for drug treatment in both the Control & Elimination phases of the Plan: (2) identify the work currently being undertaken around the world and where there are gaps with the work needed: (3) prioritize the R&D efforts needed to fill the gaps, especially drug discovery and the development of platform technologies: (4) work with other experts to develop detailed action plans to fill the priority gaps: (5) consolidate the recommended action plans and publish them.
