Research at TRUST
Research is the foundation of our work. We generate high-quality, policy-relevant evidence that informs public health practice, strengthens healthcare systems, and improves population outcomes - integrating epidemiology, implementation science, and health-systems analysis.
Non-Communicable Diseases
Studies on prevention and control of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and cancer - supporting surveillance systems, risk-factor assessment, and program evaluation.
Nutrition & Food Systems
Per the EAT-Lancet Commission, an estimated 65% of morbidities worldwide trace to unhealthy diets. We study dietary transitions, micronutrient deficiencies, and policies like trans-fat elimination and fortification.
Maternal, Child & Adolescent Health
Focused on the critical first 1,000 days - from conception to a child's second birthday - improving nutrition, reducing anaemia, and strengthening reproductive and child health services.
Health Systems & Policy Research
Evaluating health programs, service-delivery models, and policy implementation strategies to enhance efficiency, equity, and impact across healthcare systems.
Collaboration & Impact
We work with government agencies, academic institutions, and development partners to translate research into actionable recommendations, upholding ethical standards and scientific rigor.
