To address these urgent global health challenges, the Center for International Health Research (CIHR) at Rhode Island Hospital was founded in 2005, under the aegis of the departments of pathology and pediatrics.
The CIHR embraces interdisciplinary approaches by yoking basic lab science with cutting edge population-based science. It is this approach that makes the center unique in Rhode Island and in southern New England.
