The IHI mission is to apply interdisciplinary perspectives to research and training to improve the health of populations in developing countries. Since its inception, IHI faculty have established research collaborations with institutions in developing countries and developed supervised research experiences for Brown University graduate, medical, and undergraduate students with our overseas partners. IHI faculty are partners on global health education, training and research across most University divisions collaborating closely with several other Brown academic units in Social Sciences, Biomedicine & Life Sciences, and Engineering.
