Research
Research and teaching at CIH bridges departments and faculties at the University of Bergen and is conducted in partnerships with national and international institutions. At present, we receive our main funding from the Research Council of Norway, the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) and the EU.
Scientific priorities
In line with the SDG agenda, CIH focus on collaborative research and capacity strengthening to promote improved health and equity in LMICs. We will concentrate on the ‘unfinished agenda’; the leading social, environmental and political determinants of the burden of disease in LMIC, including maternal, adolescent and child health and infectious diseases, as well as nutrition, child growth and development. Priority will also be given to non-communicable diseases and injuries, in particular chronic respiratory diseases and mental health. We will also engage in research on health policy, health systems and health consequences of migration, climate change and inequality. CIH will emphasize research on implementation and interventions that can cost-effectively and equitably improve health.
