Centre for Bionetworking
http://www.centreforbionetworking.org/
The Centre for Bionetworking studies international, collaborative ways of undertaking research and development for life sciences-based innovations. The centre looks for ways to overcome existing challenges to safe, just and mutually profitable international exchanges.
Our efforts, supported by expertise in Asian language, life scieces, law, and policy-making, will map how international life science collaborations deal with differences between research institutions in countries with high- and low-incomes. The research will generate:
• Academic publications and policy briefs sharing our findings and explaining the phenomena associated with bionetworking exchanges.
• Tools to improve current collaborative efforts and exchanges between areas with varying levels of socio-economic development, political systems and educational traditions.
• Recommendations on how multiple public health policies, healthcare systems and epidemiological analyses can be reflected in the needs, preferences and behaviour of stakeholders and established international standards for research.

Future Health Systems is a research consortium working to improve access, affordability and quality of health services for the poor. It is a partnership of leading research institutes from across the globe working in a variety of contexts: in low-income countries (Bangladesh, Uganda), middle-income countries (China, India) and fragile states (Afghanistan) to build resilient health systems for the future.
Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute (HCRI)
The Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute (HCRI) at the University of Manchester is inspired by the need to conduct rigorous research and to support postgraduate training on the impact and outcomes of contemporary and historical crises. The HCRI is driven by a desire to inform and support policy and decision makers, to optimise joint working between partner organisations, and to foster increased accountability within a knowledge gathering framework.
Bringing together the disciplines of medicine and the humanities to achieve these aims, the HCRI works to facilitate improvements in crisis response on a global scale whilst providing a much needed centre of excellence for all concerned with emergencies and conflicts.
International Aids Alliance

Through our global partnership of community-based organisations the Alliance helps prevent the spread of HIV, meet the challenges of AIDS, and build healthier communities.
The STEPS Centre (Social, Technological and Environmental Pathways to Sustainability) is an interdisciplinary global research and policy engagement centre uniting development studies with science and technology studies. Our cross-cutting work covers agriculture/food; energy/climate change; health/disease and water/sanitation.
In an era of unprecedented change, we are developing a new ‘pathways approach’ to understanding and action on sustainability and development, providing new thinking and practical solutions.Our work addresses two vital global challenges: linking environmental sustainability with better livelihoods and health for poor people; and helping science and technology work for poverty reduction and social justice.
The STEPS Centre is based at the Institute of Development Studies and SPRU Science and Technology Policy Research at the University of Sussex in the UK. We work with a network of partners in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe and are funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.
