Impact
We work with partners who are leading exemplar studies in a range of different geographies and contexts to identify the impact and potential outcomes of their work. Informed by HDR UK’s impact framework, we seek to share learnings and insights that can inform other global health research studies using data science approaches.
Case Studies
The following case studies have been developed in partnership with research leads for exemplar studies or driver projects under the International COVID-19 Data Alliance (ICODA) initiative. Each study highlights different areas of impact, providing evidence of better health research through the use of effective data infrastructure with demonstrable positive effects on: health data science methods and technology; public trust; health and wellbeing; health policies and decision-making; and research culture and capacity.
