ORGANIZATION
UHAS-IHR is organized through Centres that focus on thematic research areas rather than disciplines to promote multidisciplinary research that provides solutions to contemporary health issues. The Institute currently has the following Centres:
- Centre for Malaria Research (CMR)
- Centre for Neglected Tropical Diseases Research (CNTDR)
- Centre for Non-Communicable Diseases Research (CNCDR)
- Centre for Health Policy and Implementation Research (CHPIR)
Each Centre has a minimum core group of scientists and in addition, draws on expertise from other Units at UHAS to facilitate interdisciplinary research. Provision is made for expansion of the current Centres based on new opportunities and capacities built over time.
The Institute also has a Research Operations Office (ROO) responsible for the provision of research administrative support.
GOVERNANCE
The UHAS-IHR is headed by a Director who reports to the Vice Chancellor. The Centres are headed by “Directors” but operationally equivalent to heads of department who report to the Director of UHAS-IHR. The institute also has an advisory board and management board.
