This NIHR Global Health Research Centre for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and Environmental Change is a four-country multi-institutional collaboration started in October 2022 to generate the best actionable evidence to combat the dual challenges of global environmental change and non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
Hosted by The George Institute for Global Health India, in partnership with Imperial College London, and in collaboration with the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (icddr,b), Brawijaya University, Malang, Indonesia and Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai, India (SRIHER), we aim to make it a recognised centre of excellence on NCDs and global environmental change in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), offering world-leading research, training, community engagement and policy advice for health equity.
The NIHR funds, enables and delivers world-leading health and social care research that improves people’s health and wellbeing and promotes economic growth.
