We are a locally-owned health research institute based in rural Malawi with a dual mandate to:

  1. Conduct rigorous epidemiological and operational research which is responsive to Ministry of Health’s stated needs, and provide solutions which are readily translatable to national and global health policy

  2. Train and equip young researchers from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to independently conduct excellent and impactful health research and broadly disseminate high-quality results.
