Sustainable Sciences Institute company information, Employees & Contact Information

The mission of SSI is to support scientific and public health communities in resource-poor settings to develop sustainable local research and public health systems Global health relies on biomedical scientists and public health workers who can recognize and resolve health problems at the local level. In developing countries, these professionals face tremendous challenges including lack of technical training, research tools, financial resources and up to date scientific information. SSI works with local partners to better meet the public health needs of their communities by: 1. Informing and promoting action-led research (research in response to locally identified problems) 2. Identifying and adapting innovative technologies to local conditions 3. Developing a global network of colleagues and mentors 4. Training and supporting professional development including grant and manuscript writing SSI is recognized as a leader in developing scientific research capacity. Our work has been recognized as a model for technology transfer programs to the global South by the World Health Organization, the Pan American Health Organization, the Organization of American States, the National Sciences Foundation, and the (US) National Academy of Sciences, as well as by health officials in many developing countries.
