National Institute of Science and Technology in Tuberculosis (INCT-TB) was created by the end of 2008 by INCT program of CNPq. The Institute comprises about 40 researchers from 22 research centers distributed on nine Brazilian states. The creation of INCT-TB is justified by the need to promote integration among different groups of research, in order to consolidate drug and vaccine development for TB in Brazil as well as to provide fast and reliable diagnostic tools for Mycobacterium tuberculosis detection. Most of the research groups of INCT-TB were part of Millennium Institutes funded by CNPq-Brazil, which enabled the creation of REDE-TB, and have made progress on TB research that resulted in publications and patents.
