Research Partnerships &
Applied Research Nodes.
IHRI works with universities, clinical partners, and international health networks to advance independent applied health research across four specialist nodes.
Clinical & Technology Affiliates
IHRI collaborates with clinical and industry partners to test, validate, and deploy quality improvement models and implementation strategies in complex real-world environments.
Academy of Extreme Environment Medicine
Institutional partner for the peer-review and validation of extreme medicine frameworks, providing a testing ground for research into clinical leadership and health systems management in remote and austere settings.
RRSP Industries (NY USA)
Industry affiliate for technology R&D. Supports joint institutional research projects focused on human factors and the engineering of hospital-at-home resilience systems.
SACTEM (India)
Affiliate dedicated to elevating emergency medicine standards. A vital resource for validating quality improvement research and frontline clinical protocols in high-volume environments.
International Research Partnerships
IHRI maintains active research partnerships with government-backed universities and institutions across West Africa. These collaborations provide the regional infrastructure required for independent applied research and regional capacity building.
UNSTIM (Benin)
Research PartnerA government-backed partnership with Benin's National STEM university. UNSTIM serves as a primary institutional partner, facilitating joint applied research, cross-border data exchange, and scientific collaboration across West Africa.
UNA (Benin)
Institutional Research PartnerThe National University of Agriculture (UNA) Ketou operates as a key institutional partner for IHRI. This collaboration focuses on advancing applied research initiatives, regional capacity building, and collaborative academic frameworks.
- Joint Research: Facilitating cross-border scientific inquiry and data sharing.
- Regional Capacity: Building resilient institutional frameworks in complex environments.
Research Nodes
Our four research nodes conduct independent, non-credit-bearing applied research in partnership with institutional and research partners globally.
Bio-Risk & Genomics
Pathogen surveillance and genomic research into biological risk, dual-use technology governance, and zoonotic disease detection using Oxford Nanopore diagnostics.
Frontline Resilience
Strengthening rural health infrastructure. Advancing community care models, paramedicine leadership, and pre-hospital system design in remote and underserved settings.
Complex Systems & Space
AI governance, high-reliability organisation principles, and human performance research in extreme environments and microgravity contexts.
AgriFood & Environmental Systems
Building resilient food and environmental systems. Researching AgriFood logistics, water infrastructure, and climate adaptation under a One Health framework.
Regulatory Compliance Note
The research partnerships and nodes listed on this page constitute the independent applied research framework of the International Health Research Institute (IHRI) under 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. For information regarding our formal MQF/EQF Level 8 degree qualifications, please refer to the Academic portal.
Partner with IHRI
Health Ministries, Universities, and institutional partners are invited to propose research consortia or pilot programmes aligned with our Research Nodes.
