Research centered on Bangladesh's most pressing health challenges

Our multidisciplinary teams tackle some of the most urgent public health challenges—from urban and rural health to poverty, disease, nutrition, gender equity, digital health, and beyond. Each study uncovers insights that shape healthier, more equitable futures. Backed by over 150 global funders and 200+ partners across six continents, we collaborate with governments, BRAC, healthcare providers, and civil society to turn evidence into action and drive meaningful change. Through five Cenetres of Excellence and two Research and Policy Hubs, we lead bold, interdisciplinary research that addresses the country’s most pressing health issues. Our work doesn’t just generate knowledge—it influences policy, strengthens programs, and transforms lives.
