Research Partnerships
& Global Collaboration.
IHRI collaborates with universities, clinical societies, and applied research organisations across multiple continents — advancing independent health research and building global institutional capacity.
Regulatory note: The partnerships listed on this page constitute part of IHRI's independent applied research framework (Pillar II). These activities are entirely distinct from our accredited academic offerings and do not confer academic credit towards the MFHEA-accredited Doctor of Health Science (DHS) programme.
