Cross-cutting methods
One standard of excellence,
multiple methods.
- Epidemiology and Spatial Analysis Describing disease and vector distributions and investigating their determinants.
- Laboratory Methods and Data Management Linking biological observations with documented and analyzable data.
- Implementation Research Studying how interventions are adopted, implemented and sustained in their context.
- Community Engagement Taking into account the experiences of communities and field stakeholders.
Building useful research, together.
Let’s connect on research, training and scientific collaborations.
