P001405002: The proposed project would provide 5 years of institutional support to icddr,b, a leading global health research centre located in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The institutional support would include capital investments in improved research technologies, develop human resources, and enable the organization to pursue its strategic research agenda to produce evidence of effective low-cost health solutions, including in SRHR. icddr,b’s mandate is to find low-cost innovative solutions to public health problems facing low- and middle-income countries through scientific research. The five main areas of icddr’b’s work are: 1) innovative research to identify low-cost solutions to public health problems in poor countries; 2) implementation and scale-up of proven public health interventions; 3) policy impact through delivering evidence for effective health strategies and policy interventions; 4) humanitarian action (including hospitals and laboratories, disease outbreak responses and training); and 5) the Matlab Demographic Surveillance site, the world’s most comprehensive and longest running longitudinal population study, which is also a testing ground for research on global vaccines, community health care delivery, reducing maternal mortality and malnutrition, the identification of emerging diseases, and the effects of environmental and socio-cultural factors on health.
