We
are a unique global network of clinical epidemiologists,
biostatisticians, social scientists and other health professionals
affiliated with key academic health-care institutions.
We
are dedicated to improving the health of disadvantaged
populations, particularly in low- and middle-income countries,
by promoting equitable health care based on the best evidence
of effectiveness and the efficient use of resources.
We
achieve this by using the network to conduct collaborative,
inter-disciplinary research on high-priority health problems,
and to train future generations of leaders in health-care
research.
