Since 2003, EDCTP has launched 65 calls for proposals. A total of 246 projects have been funded. Of these, 106 (43%) were active at the end of 2013 and 140 projects grants were completed. The total amount of the 246 projects is € 212.12 million including cofunding via EDCTP. Of these projects, 54 are on HIV/AIDS research, 44 on tuberculosis research and 41 on malaria research, and the remaining 107 projects were non-disease specific.

The EDCTP portfolio includes 74 projects with a clinical trial, and 172 projects without a clinical trial. Research into treatments constitutes the majority of projects (60) and share of funding (44% of EDCTP grant funding). EDCTP-funded research on vaccines accounts for a smaller number of projects (26). However, the proportion of funding spent on vaccines represents 30%, reflecting the higher costs involved in vaccine trials. There are 13 diagnostics projects (7% of EDCTP grant funding) and microbicides research accounts for 5 projects (4% of grant funding).
