Faculty and staff at AIPH have conducted multiple research studies in India over the last decade, focusing on improving population health, reducing morbidity and mortality and preventing disease. This has been made possible by active collaboration with senior faculty members at reputed institutions, NGOs, the robust community-based research infrastructure and data centers established by us at various parts of Orissa and India. Participating institutions in India include All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi; T N Medical College and Nair Hospital, Mumbai; SCB Medical College, Cuttack; Acharya Harihar Regional Cancer Center, Cuttack; Ispat General Hospital and the WHO Center for Malaria Education, Rourkela; Capital Hospital, Bhubaneswar; Kalinga Hospital, Bhubaneswar; Jana Sikshan Sansthan, Rourkela; and Vijaya Orissa, BHubaneswar. Our overseas collaborators include established public health experts and senior faculty at University of Maryland, George Washington University, University of Nebraska Medical Center, and Michigan State University in the U.S. and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, and the Norwegian Knowledge Center, Norway. These AIPH collaborating investigators are also engaged in conducting research in various domains of public health in their respective countries. Multiple faculty from well known institutions in India, Africa, U.K., and Australia also work with us as consultants on various educational and research projects. Every summer, students from U.S. universities continue to use the AIPH platform to gain experience in tropical medicine and conduct community-based research at our field sites and hospitals.
