The research portfolio of the institute includes randomized trials of new treatment and prevention strategies, surveys, and observational studies of the causes and outcomes of disease and injury. The current global research budget of the institute is approximately $25-30 million per year. Research revenue comes from national and international medical research agencies, government, private sponsors and industry. All of the institute’s research is initiated by academic staff of the institute or colleagues at partner institutions including the University of Oxford, the University of Pittsburgh, Peking University and the University of Melbourne.
