FUNDING & SUPPORT
StaR Child Health’s funders
StaR Child Health’s funding model reflects the international and dispersed nature of the organization. While StaR has no core income, our Standard Development Groups (SDGs) members are supported by national governments, universities, hospitals, private foundations, and personal donations. StaR does not accept funding from commercial organisations such as pharmaceutical companies. This is to ensure that the products StaR prepares are not influenced by commercial interests. StaR’s Coordinating Centre currently has a donation from a private foundation to support a part-time coordinator until 2020. This funding has not been used to fund salaries of StaR contributors, but to organize international meetings in which StaR work has been featured.
