The research programme is conducted by 32 principal investigators, funded by competitive research grants and fellowships, working closely together under four main disciplines: (1) Clinical Sciences (2) Epidemiology, Demography and Public Health (3) Pathogen Biology (4) Health Systems and Social Science Research. For the period 2011-2016 the programme has four key strategic scientific themes: Improving child survival during a period of rapid epidemiological transition Ad dressing adult health focussing on maternal health and recognising the impact of HIV on vulnerable populations Strengthening health systems through research on policy for, access to, monitoring, evaluation and delivery of care.
